Music Creators Unite to Safeguard Copyright in AI Era

America’s Creative Edge: Copyright Alliance Mobilizes Music Pros to Influence AI Policy

The Copyright Alliance has launched a nationwide campaign urging creators to engage with U.S. policymakers on upcoming artificial intelligence regulations. Their focus is clear: protect creative works used in AI training and development, ensuring artists maintain control over their output and receive fair compensation.

Thousands of letters have already reached Washington, D.C., supported by a mix of digital ads, social media outreach, research, and live events. Creators can access grassroots letter templates to make their voices heard, amplifying the message that protecting creative rights is essential for ongoing innovation and preserving America’s global leadership.

“Strong IP, Strong AI, Strong US”

The campaign’s central message highlights the connection between intellectual property protection and technological progress. Strong copyright laws fuel innovation and economic growth, especially as the U.S. faces increasing competition internationally.

Music professionals are invited to join this movement by sharing their experiences and pushing for policies that recognize the value of their work in AI’s evolving landscape. Protecting creative output ensures the U.S. keeps a competitive edge and honors the contributions of its creators.

• Engage with policymakers through letter campaigns
• Share personal stories to demonstrate the impact of AI on creative work
• Advocate for fair copyright protections in AI legislation

Why This Matters

Respecting property rights and fostering honest competition is key to America’s success. The Copyright Alliance emphasizes that the U.S. should lead by example rather than follow others, especially in the global AI race.

“America does best when there is honest competition, property rights are respected and enforced, and creativity is valued and protected,” says Copyright Alliance CEO Keith Kupferschmid. “In the global race for leadership on AI, we want to beat China, not be China.”
