Taiwanese folk metal artist NiNi got a fake copyright claim on her viral hit cover of Zombie, in a successful attempt to steal her revenue from YT and Facebook.

She's currently trying reach YT and Facebook to gain access to her revenue.

This is another example of how automated copyright claim systems are not fit for purpose and should never have been required under EU law.

They STOLE My Song and Thought I Wouldn't Notice...

I still can't believe this sort of stuff happens and there is very little small independent artists can do about it. Stay safe out on the internet everyone!♬...

"In newly unredacted documents filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California late Wednesday, plaintiffs in Kadrey v. Meta, who include bestselling authors Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, recount Meta’s testimony from late last year, during which it was revealed that Zuckerberg approved Meta’s use of a dataset called LibGen for Llama-related training.

LibGen, which describes itself as a “links aggregator,” provides access to copyrighted works from publishers including Cengage Learning, Macmillan Learning, McGraw Hill, and Pearson Education. LibGen has been sued a number of times, ordered to shut down, and fined tens of millions of dollars for copyright infringement.

According to Meta’s testimony, as relayed by plaintiffs’ counsel, Zuckerberg cleared the use of LibGen to train at least one of Meta’s Llama models despite concerns within Meta’s AI exec team and others at the company. The filing quotes Meta employees as referring to LibGen as a “data set we know to be pirated,” and flagging that its use “may undermine [Meta’s] negotiating position with regulators.”"
