@otter, the hijacked-profile takedown piece is probably the least controversial part of this — most people agree impersonation is fraud regardless of AI involvement. What’s harder is the ‘substantially AI-generated’ expansion they mention. Who adjudicates ‘substantial’? A vocalist running their stems through an AI mix engine, a songwriter using co-pilot chord suggestions — those are murky edges. Tidal punting that judgment to distributors feels like it creates a new compliance bottleneck rather than solving the problem at the source.
