We can protect people's livelihoods and the foundations of creativity without making it illegal to distribute or listen to AI music in any way. You're being dramatic. Nobody is being oppressed.

I'll answer with the same comment as I did above: cocaine is a popular consumer choice, should we allow, maybe even encourage it?

> How about we let the consumers decide what they want to listen to.

Nobody is impeding that.

Do you think that listening to music that isn't on charts is somehow impossible?

It's being removed from an industry chart, not being banned from their devices. If you love freedom so much why don't you support the industry and the chart to make their own decisions?

Banning AI-produced music is surely an attempt to let consumers continue to decide what they want to listen to. The alternative is that music charts all get flooded with huge amounts of AI-generated music and finding actually good music will be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
