The music industry is in an era of significant transformation, with major labels signing licensing deals with AI music platforms like Warner Music and Suno. These deals have exposed cracks in attribution, ownership and compensation that licensing alone cannot address. Licensing deals tend to work when creation is centralized and output clearly defined, but this model fails for the future. As AI becomes a default tool in studios, it can't handle the fluidity of remixes, iterations, and collaborations across tools, platforms, and communities. The Suno-Warner deal revealed this problem, with Suno alone having 100 million users and a $2.45-billion valuation. The industry needs a transparent system to track who created what or who should receive paid royalties. The NO FAKES Act, reintroduced to Congress in 2025 with bipartisan support from legislators and backing from OpenAI, YouTube, and all three major labels, aims to address this issue.
