The Universal Music Group has been banned from streaming services for 'infringing content created with generative AI'. The song went viral over the weekend and by the time it was taken down yesterday afternoon, it had been streamed 600,000 times on Spotify and received 15 million views on TikTok views and 275,000 on YouTube. The song, which is titled Heart on My Sleeve, is said to have been created with AI technology that is familiar with artists' music, and it'represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright legislation,' UMG said. The song was initially posted on TikTok by a user named Ghostwriter977 and posted on streaming platforms under the name Ghostwriter, according to some. The music label told Billboard magazine that the viral posts "demonstrate why websites have a fundamental constitutional and ethical obligation to refrain from using their services in ways that harm artists."
