Google says all music uploaded to YouTube is legally theirs to use to train AI on

Google says YouTube’s terms of service grant a “broad license” for AI models to be trained on music uploaded to the platform in response to

Tl;DR:

Google is saying that any music uploaded to YouTube is legally theirs to use in AI training.

This was to try to throw out a copyright case where the victims were trying to sue YouTube for allegedly using their music to train their AI

full discussion

“A new court filing claims that when indie artists upload music to YouTube, they grant a "broad license" that covers the AI initiatives of parent company Google.”

“Google says in a new court filing that YouTube’s terms of service grant a “broad license” for artificial intelligence models to be trained on music uploaded directly to the platform.”

“This argument came in Google’s Monday (June 8) motion to dismiss copyright infringement litigation filed earlier this year by a group of independent artists, songwriters and producers.

The lawsuit claims that Lyria 3, the AI music model launched by Google in February, was trained on songs ripped from YouTube without compensating artists.”

“The case is among dozens that have accused AI companies of illegally training their models on copyrighted sound, text and images in recent years.

In most of these lawsuits — including ones brought by the major record labels against AI music generators Suno and Udio — tech companies have argued that the so-called fair use principle of copyright law allows them to create transformative works without licensing the training data.”

Instead of making a fair use argument, Google is saying “they actually do have a license to train AI with the songs uploaded to YouTube by these indie artists.”

Google says there’s no evidence for Google using their specific works, but also that they have the right to use

the motion cites a clause in YouTube’s terms of service that states, “By providing content to the service, you grant to YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the service and YouTube’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business.”

“if Google’s argument is accepted by the court, the company would be legally permitted to train AI models on and otherwise utilize that content for “derivative works.” However,

the situation might be different for music distributed through YouTube pursuant to licensing agreements with labels and publishers.”

Music usually has licensing that protects them from copyright issues

Canadian Online harms bill to include social media ban for children under 16

source

“Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is expected to table its long-awaited legislation aimed at online safety this week, including a ban on social media platforms for children under 16 years old.”

“A government official, speaking on the condition of background, confirmed plans to present a bill in the coming days, which will usher in a path to create a new regulator and target different types of harmful content online.”

Platforms can pledge for exemptions

“The bill is expected to tabled on Wednesday, with the House of Commons set to rise for its summer break next week.

The legislation is not expected to include the same type of ban for AI chatbots, but will establish a set of responsibilities platforms need to meet.”

The last online safety bills were made by Justin Trudeau, which were C-63, which died in 2025

“Under the previous bill, the government had proposed requiring platforms to submit annual safety plans outlining how they were mitigating users’ exposure to the most harmful content online, from the non-consensual sharing of intimate images to content that encourages a minor to engage in self-harm or incites extremism.”

GraphenOS user flagged by age verification company Yoti, same company that is partnering with PlayStation for their age verification, and were reported to the authorities (allegedly)

source

According to the user, they tried to verify their age to get into the PlayStation network

Which failed 10 times, costumer support was contacted

The support said

"Due to past security concerns, Yoti automatically flags multiple verification attempts and any devices running GrapheneOS. These instances are automatically reported to both the authorities and our security team."

Translation: "Due to past security concerns, Yoti automatically flags multiple verification attempts as well as any device running GrapheneOS. These cases are automatically reported to the authorities as well as to our security team."

“The user had provided their real identity documents. They hadn't bypassed anything. It's Yoti's system that appears to have failed to process them.”

Why?

“GrapheneOS restricts camera and biometric APIs. A scan that works on stock Android can fail in a loop on GrapheneOS. The repeated failure isn't fraud. It's a technical incompatibility.”

The OS isn’t banned

“It's a hardened open-source Android OS, used by journalists, lawyers, security researchers, and people like you and me who care about their security.”

“But for Yoti, using it is enough to classify you as a suspect. On what grounds?

Either Yoti actually reports someone, somewhere, for using a legal OS. Or it's boilerplate language designed to scare.

In either case, it's a problem.”

“If it's real: no text requires an age verification provider to report to law enforcement a user detected on GrapheneOS. It's a unilateral policy with no identifiable legal basis.

If it's a bluff: threatening a user with a fictional legal procedure is an unfair business practice in most jurisdictions.”

This reveals that people using alternative OS are going to be treated as suspicious

“At every step, we'll be told it's for security, for the children, for fighting fraud, for compliance. But in the end, the result will be the same: the user seeking to protect themselves will have to justify it, while the fully trackable user will be considered normal.”

“If Yoti confirms this practice, we will need to ask on what legal basis this reporting rests, which authorities are the recipients, what data is transmitted, how many users are affected, how long this information is retained, and what remedies are offered to falsely reported individuals.

And if Yoti does not confirm it, we will need to explain why its support was able to write such a thing to a user.”

McDonald’s new AI drive through role out begins

AI is rapidly being rolled out across multiple professions, replacing jobs previously occupied by human beings. Algorithmic counterparts are

“In five selected stores around the US, the new AI has been deployed and tested.

According to their post, they have already taken over a million orders using the new technology, with an impressive 90% needing no human intervention.”

“This is the second time that McDonald's has rolled out an AI replacement for its drive-thru staff, with the previous model being pulled due to multiple issues that made it less effective than just using a person.

They are confident that this time it will be a success.

The burger restaurant has said that they will begin implementing the AI rollout across millions of stores in the coming months, installing the necessary tools for the project.

They plan for every McDonald's in the US to switch to the new system.”

“The AI model won't just replace the spoken element of the order, either. It has multi-stage assistance that will help the kitchen do their job more efficiently, hopefully speeding up the order process and ensuring food is fresher for the customers.”

The announcement, shared on X, states, "Archy will not only assist drive-thru orders but act as a master brain to help managers run a better restaurant. It's like a personal assistant that alerts you to potential bottlenecks or issues."

“A smart weight system will weigh an order before it leaves the window to ensure everything is being delivered.

Additionally, a geofencing system will be used to alert the kitchen staff to when a customer is approaching so they can have the food ready to go and as fresh as possible.”

no one is happy

“People aren't very receptive to human-speaking roles being replaced by algorithms. Removing the human element may save a company like McDonald's money in the long run, but people don't particularly like the change.”

One person has said

"Just so your company, McDonald's, and anyone reading this understand: We all hate the system installed at Wendy's. We hate the kiosks at McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell that we are asked to use instead of talking to a person. We will hate this too. Say goodbye to customers."

parents pissed at University of Washington for wanting to record pre school children to train AI in study, which now has been canceled

A planned experiment would've used cameras worn by preschool teachers to record everything in the classroom and use that footage to train AI

one parent said "I am troubled by the idea of using my child's likeness in unknown AI tools and how this could be abused."

"A planned University of Washington study would’ve had preschool teachers wear cameras to record first-person footage of everything in the classroom, including the young children they were instructing, and use that footage to train AI models. "

a document given to parents and obtained by 404 Media in a new investigative piece says the following

“With your permission, your child’s lead teacher may wear a small teacher-worn camera that captures the teacher’s approximate first-person perspective, and/or we may place a fixed video camera in the classroom, “These videos simply capture the normal interactions between teachers and children during regular classroom activities.”

"The parents did a little more than opt out, however. They revolted, and the backlash was so heated that the University of Washington called off the experiment entirely,"

"The documents given to parents sometimes used nebulous language and left key questions open-ended. They stated that the footage would’ve been used to “develop and evaluate AI models for assessing classroom interaction quality,” and that the “video data may be processed using cloud-based AI services.” But they didn’t specify what AI models or what AI companies would be involved.

Thorny questions abounded. What about the parent of a child who didn’t give consent? Would only they be blurred out in the footage? How would that realistically work? The documents only said the researchers would censor faces and names “whenever possible,” but that meant your child was still being filmed."

one parent who has asked to remain anonymous has asked

“I was particularly concerned about families’ ability to give informed consent,” “As a native English speaker, the vague language in the handout left me with a slew of questions. Many families in our school are migrants and non-native English speakers, but forms were not provided in any of their native languages.”

even experts in education were confused by the language

“Who may the data may be shared with? How long will it be maintained? Who is funding the research? Those are questions that I would want answers to, and the answers could exist,” Faith Boninger, co-director of the National Education Policy Center, told 404.

the university has now canceled the project

though one spokesperson from the university has gone to say that the project was always opt out

the spokesperson said “Classroom participation was contingent upon receiving parental permission for all children, If any parent did not provide permission, the classroom would have been excluded from the study.”

though many do question that as well

Scotland's children's commissioner warns that a social media ban "WON'T keep children safe."

Scotland's children's commissioner has warned a social media ban could drive children to less regulated or riskier parts of the internet.

“There is insufficient evidence to suggest a social media ban for under‑16s would help keep children safer online, Scotland's children's commissioner has said.”

“Nicola Killean warned a ban could drive children to less regulated or riskier parts of the internet, and said the focus should instead be on holding social media companies to account.

She was responding to the UK government's consultation on whether to introduce a minimum age for accessing online platforms, including social media.

"A ban does little to address underlying issues such as exploitative algorithms, and business models that drive harmful content and engagement," she said.”

“Ahead of submitting her response, the commissioner's office carried out a children's rights impact assessment examining how the proposals could affect children and young people, both positively and negatively.”

“Her team also worked with a group of young advisers aged between 12 and 17 from across Scotland.”

She said that are dangers like cyber bullying, harmful content, and exploitation”

But she also pointed out the benefits of social media and the way it impacts these teens lives, saying

"by supporting communication, self-expression, access to information, participation, play, and connection with communities and support networks".

She added "The evidence so far on bans is limited, mixed, and still emerging. "Blanket restrictions can risk shifting responsibility away from platforms and onto children."

“Killean also warned a ban could impact on some youngsters more than others.

The commissioner said it could more negatively impact those in rural and remote areas, those with family overseas, disabled children and those who rely on online communities for support with their identity.”

“In her recommendations, Killean called for greater focus on platform design and accountability, and a crack-down on harmful features.

She also said rules should reflect children's age and maturity, and that young people should be directly involved in shaping future policy.

Any new age limit should not weaken existing safeguards, she added.”

Amazon announced that their shutting down their AI token leader board because of employees over using tokens

“Amazon is looking to minimize "tokenmaxxing."

Amazon nixed an employee-created AI leaderboard called "KiroRank" after concerns it encouraged excessive AI spending.

The company is shutting down an employee-made leaderboard that tracked AI token use because it encouraged some staff to perform tasks that didn't necessarily solve problems, just so they could climb the ranks.”

Dave Treadwell, an Amazon senior vice president has gone record to say

"Please don't use AI just for the sake of using AI. Use AI to help you solve customer problems, to help you solve business problems, to innovate."

“The move, first reported by the Financial Times, is the latest sign that big companies are pivoting from a culture of free-wheeling AI spending amid concerns about ballooning AI budgets that lack the returns to justify them.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that the internal leaderboard, called "KiroRank," had been "deprecated."

The spokesperson said the dashboard was an informal tracker created by a group of employees and "was never intended to promote the use of AI for usage's sake."”

the spokesperson said in a statement.

"We're focused on AI adoption and sharing best practices to celebrate innovation and operational efficiency gains across the company, and we're proud of the way our teams are embracing this technology,"

“The spokesperson said that Amazon teams have the freedom to determine how to both use AI tools and track that usage.

While the tech giant does track AI token usage to measure costs, it doesn't encourage "tokenmaxxing," the Silicon Valley trend of measuring AI productivity by the amount of AI that an employee or company uses.”

Texas courts are trying to lift the App Store accountability act ban, could be blocked or fully lifted by Jun 2nd deadline

Source

Source2

“A Texas law aimed at keeping minors from using app stores with an adult's consent can take effect while the appeal process plays out, an appeals court ruled.”

“The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday handed down an order that stays an injunction issued last year by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman in Austin.

In Pitman's ruling last year, he said the law and its restrictions likely violate the First Amendment.

The three-judge panel gave no reason behind the order to stay the injunction, just that it was stayed while they consider the motion filed by the Texas Attorney General's Office.

The deadline for the state to file written arguments in favor of the motion is June 2.”

What does this mean?

This doesn’t mean that the law has been put into effect, it just means that their working on things

The full motion is due on June 2nd and that’s when we will know if the temp ban is fully lifted

Bottom line is

“If the full stay is granted, the law will remain in effect while the 5th Circuit works through the appeal on the merits.

If denied, the injunctions go back into place, and the law is blocked again.”

AI [and their tokens] is getting too expensive for these companies to handle

AI is getting too expensive.

“Many tech companies are pushing their employees to use AI tools and increase their productivity, but it seems that this initiative has begun to backfire.

Microsoft has been reportedly pushing its people to switch to its own Copilot CLI rather than Claude Code because it wants to use an internal tool rather than a third-party one.

However, sources say the primary reason is that the cost of using Claude Code has been steadily increasing as more people use the AI tool.”

“other companies are also pulling back on AI usage. While it’s true that the cost of training AI models is falling, making AI tokens more affordable, people have started using more tokens in their day-to-day tasks.

This is particularly true for agentic AI, which can use a thousand times more tokens compared to querying an LLM, depending on the number of steps needed to accomplish your instructions.

For example, OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger claimed that his team spent more than $1.3 million in token costs in just a single month. Because of this, it’s now apparent that using AI is more expensive than hiring people, especially since it offers only limited productivity gains at the moment.”

“Decreasing token costs, paired with increased usage, reminds us of the Jevons Paradox, in which increased efficiency has led to more people using a particular tool or technology.

There are many examples of this throughout history — the introduction of efficient steam engines during the Industrial Revolution led more firms to deploy these tools to increase productivity.

This is also evident in the airline industry: as planes became more fuel-efficient, lower ticket prices led to higher demand, and air travel demand is now on track to double by 2050, according to IATA.”

This seems true with AI companies as well, with “Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang famously said that its engineers should use AI tokens worth at least half their annual salary each year to be fully productive”

It seems that some of these companies are considering using less outside AI’s and trying to figure out a solution to their self imposed problem

Gemini AI and CapCut to partner together

The popular creative tools plan to offer software within Google's AI chatbot.

This came from Google I/O

“three major creative services planning to make editing tools easier to access through Gemini AI.

Adobe, Canva, and CapCut all plan to connect to Gemini in the near future.

Each aims to bring their editing capabilities directly to where people are making creative decisions with AI.”

“Canva’s announcement mentions using its tools within Gemini to edit imagery first created through Google's Nano Banana model. "Magic Layers takes things a step further. Generate an image in Gemini and unlock it in Canva, making every element editable by separating it into individual layers. Fine-tune text, elements, and more – all in one flow," it says. In the example, someone generates an AI image of a tennis player holding a ball, then rearranges elements to make it work better for a poster before adding text.”

The roll out will be limited, but will get a full release soon

Adobes ones aren’t available yet, but will be in the coming weeks

“Adobe says, "You describe what you want to create. Our creative agent figures out how to get there — connecting the right tools, in the right sequence at the right time while checking in along the way. You stay in control of the creative vision; the agent handles the execution." This comes after Adobe made a similar move by adding its creative tools to Anthropic's Claude AI.”

“YouTube has come under fire from creators after launching a set of new AI tools, including the introduction of Google Omni, which lets you “remix” another person’s Short.”

“they have now introduced previously announced tools that allow creators to use Google Omni AI to “remix” a YouTube Short that has already been uploaded by another user. That includes giving it a new theme, adding things to the background, and little touches like that. “

“Remixed videos will “have digital watermarks, identifying metadata, and link back to the original video” so you know where it’s come from, and creators will be able to opt out of having their videos remixed.”

This however, has not gone over well with creators

Jacksfilms has stated “No thank you,” in response to this

the Illinois HB5511, Children's Social Media Safety Act, is having a hearing in the Illinois senate executive on May 27th.

The meeting will be at 2:30PM

the basic idea of the bill is the usual kid safety stuff

It would require any device with an Internet connection to have age verification

“Devices would use this information to tell websites, apps and other platforms what “age bracket” the user is in, defined as under 13, between 13 and 15, between 16 and 17, or 18 and older.”

“Additionally, all websites, online services and apps would be required to request every user’s age bracket, regardless of whether their content would actually be age-restricted”

Summary (2026-05-19) DIGITAL AGE ASSURANCE [Added as Alternate Chief Co-Sponsor Sen. Mattie Hunter]

The Illinois House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that would require all internet-connected devices and platforms in the state to

Colorado OS age verification law has been passed, Linux is trying to fight back

The push to keep open-source open in the era of age-gating.

The open source community is clashing with the OS age verification laws

“this year, Colorado lawmakers introduced a proposal to make operating systems collect users’ ages and pass them to app developers.

bill, SB26-051, had clearly been designed for commercial platforms like iOS and Android — one of numerous plans to age-gate the internet through users’ devices.

It was intended to provide information that would let developers disable age-inappropriate experiences for kids.

But as it made the rounds online, Linux laptop maker Carl Richell read the proposal with dismay.”

“Carl Richell is the founder and CEO of Denver-based System76, which also develops the Pop!_OS Linux distribution.

The law, he realized, would likely apply to his own small business.

Without the resources of a company like Apple and Google, complying with Colorado’s bill would be a major logistical headache. More broadly, Richell believed it would betray the principles of open source and limit its potential.”

He says that [about learning from open source}

“There is nothing like learning from example, and the Linux desktop is a free, open-source example of how to build an entire operating system.”

“A system that can restrict how children use it — by blocking their ability to interact with certain apps or denying them root access, both possible outcomes of an age-gating system — “breaks that.”

He worked with state legislators to adapt and change the laws

He testified at the Colorado House of Representatives

“Everyone should have access to the ability to create with a computer,” “Open-source software makes that possible. It ensures that everyone, regardless of age or background, can learn, experiment, and build at the most fundamental level.” In its original form, the bill, he warned, “unintentionally swept that world into its scope.”

open source is still alive

His work did pay off

“SB26-051 passed with an exemption he’d pushed for — excluding open-source operating systems like Linux from its rules.

“We have created a template that I hope other legislatures adopt,” Richell told The Verge.”

While it’s not a full on win, it’s something for us to be happy about

Open source and age verification has recently been at odds because of the recent age verification on the OS level laws being considered

why these laws don’t work well with open source

Michael Dolan, SVP of strategic programs at the Linux Foundation has gone record to say

“Protecting children online is absolutely important, “However, age verification mandates imposed on open source systems create new privacy risks while remaining easily circumvented. This is security theater, not improved child safety.”

New York is also considering this, with their S8102A right now in committee

Which would require “would require age assurance measures on “any desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, or other device” that can access content on the internet.”

Developers for the most part are unsure what they would do in the face of these laws

“The developers of open-source OS MidnightBSD, for instance, posted a significantly more adversarial response on X in February: “Until we have a better plan, we modified our license to exclude residents of California from using MidnightBSD for desktop use, effective January 1, 2027.” There’s nothing technically stopping Californians from downloading and using it anyway, but by formally banning access, the developers hope to avoid liability without changing their OS for the time being.”

“Some developers are loudly, openly defying the law.

Ageless Linux, which describes itself as “software for humans of indeterminate age,” is a conversion script for Debian that replaces the existing “birthDate” field in the user database with “a stub age verification API that returns no data.” Created in protest of the new laws, it doesn’t record any age for any user.

In addition to highlighting how easy it is to bypass age check measures in Linux”

some like Apple and META seem to be quite happy to see these things pass

Privacy advocates are already against these laws, but bringing open source into the mix causes more issues

college graduates boo former CEO of Google due to his pro AI talks

Artificial intelligence has become an unwelcome topic at college commencements. Graduates at several colleges and universities have interrup

“At several campuses, graduates have interrupted speakers with stadium-wide boos when the topic turned to AI.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced repeated jeers over the weekend during his keynote address to about 10,000 University of Arizona graduates on the rise of AI.

“It will touch every profession, every classroom, every hospital, every laboratory, every person and every relationship you have,” Schmidt said, as booing began to build in the audience.”

“I know what many of you are feeling about that. I can hear you,” Schmidt responded as the boos continued.

“There is a fear in your generation that the future has already been written, that the machines are coming, that the jobs are evaporating … and I understand that fear.” He still continues, while not reading the room or understanding that he should shut up

“To students the topic felt tone deaf, said Olivia Malone, a 22-year-old University of Arizona graduate bound for law school.

“His speech was incredibly disrespectful to students,” said Malone.

“We as students are discouraged from using it and penalized for using it. And then to have our speaker be the champion of AI is just like, OK? Why?”

According to some polls from last year “About 70% of college students see AI as a threat to their job prospects”

“A recent Gallup poll of Generation Z youth and adults, between ages 14 and 29, found increasingly negative attitudes toward AI.

About half of Gen Z teens and adults say they use AI daily or weekly.

But anger about the technology has increased since a year ago, while excitement and hopefulness about AI is declining.”

“Another speaker, real estate executive Gloria Caulfield, also faced boos when she highlighted the advent of artificial intelligence during a keynote this month at the University of Central Florida.”

tried to make it positive

“A similar response met music executive Scott Borchetta when he spoke to the graduating class of Middle Tennessee State University about how AI is shaping the music industry.”

With the speaker saying that their fear is reasonable, but says that they can shape how AI develops

“The advice didn’t land well with students like Malone, who said the former Google executive’s speech was more self-serving than inspirational.

“It felt like a big advertisement. It felt like the longest Gemini ad ever,” said Malone”

Part of this back lash is due to ever difficult job market that many students find overly stressful and hard to navigate
