And Iran, for that matter. It all becomes kinda meaningless when the argument for "self-defense" is allowed to include pre-emptive strikes.

I presume the BBC is going to drill into me every single news report that Lebanon has a right to defend itself?

yeah that's kinda what got me onto it. although in FAIRNESS, Now and Then was a real song, but Lennon's vocals were fucked up in recording. They used AI to patch it up. It's a crap song though.

At the end of the day, it's not Starr, nor McCartney, nor Lennon, nor Harrison who get to say what happens to their music and legacy. It's the shareholders of Apple Records. And their maws --- and pocketbooks --- are ever gaping.

Whatever popular or unpopular opinion might say, it doesn't take away from the simple fact that Apple Records, the most profitable record company in the world, makes tens of millions of dollars in profit every year. And if they don't have to employ some staff, that profit can only increase.

Helen Delice, a musician whose work varies from high speed technojazz to lackadaisical instrumental covers of Rolling Stones songs, goes further: "The joy of music, nay the joy of /art/, is in creating the thing, not the thing itself. What's the point in AI if it takes away that joy from somebody?"
