    Music doesn’t stay under copywrite, forever. You could use anything that’s aged out of copywrite, too. And then you, as a business won’t alienate people who choose not to consume ai for ethical reasons.

      Yeah, about that: In most jurisdictions copyright lasts until 70 years after death. So that means in 2026 that both composer and all performers must have died before 1956. Using such old songs from old recordings is simply not feasible for most companies.

      Music recorded before 1923 has a distinct vibe to it that most businesses probably dont want

      Especially since thats before the microphone so its all acoustically recorded
