Correctly labelling musical content and freedom of choice of listening

In a nutshell, with the option to listen to certain genres, there has to be the option to being able to NOT listen to certain genres. And that implies the correct labelling of content, so that fans can seek it out, as well as everyone else having the option to avoid it.

In this year and age, generative AI content in the visual and audible arts are rampant and omnipresent.
The mere fact that Spotify AB condones, hosts, and even monetizes generative content made by AI trained on any kind of music without the acknowledgement, let alone the consent or crediting, of the artist, is in itself a matter for huge concern about the intentions of this platform to support the very artists that filled it with its contents in the first place.

 

So in order to continue to use this platform with good conscience, please provide your users with the following option:
To opt out of listening to, or blacklist, generative AI music of any kind, and consequential, a requirement from the uploader to declare if any of the music is made from generative AI.

 

Freedom of choice should encompass the freedom to NOT support a certain practise. Forcing a practise on your user is problematic at best.
