Part 6/11:
One of the most pressing issues is enforcement. Without a label—since Grimes is independent—she can more easily control and combat misappropriation. However, for artists signed under major labels, the legal battle becomes more complex.

This parallels traditional publishing industries where the publisher profits more than the creators.
Furthermore, the proliferation of AI songs presents challenges in enforcing rights and copyrights. If a song is AI-generated, who owns the rights? Is the original artist entitled to royalties? How can creators and consumers distinguish between genuine and AI-made content?
