🎙️ Episode: Welcome to the AI Wild West — Why Artists Are Being Left Behind (Again)In this explosive episode of Sold for a Song, Terry Sawchuk exposes one of the biggest double standards in the modern music industry:
➡️ Songwriters and artists are being told they can’t use “too much AI”…
while AI companies built billion-dollar valuations illegally training on your music.
From Suno’s infamous mass scraping of YouTube MP3s to Warner Music cutting a deal after suing them, Terry breaks down how major labels are positioning themselves to control the next era of music creation — at the expense of the very creators they rely on.
Inside this episode:
💥 How Suno trained its AI on copyrighted music without permission
💥 Why Warner partnered with them anyway (and why Sony/Universal are next)
💥 The shocking contradiction between PRO rules (ASCAP/BMI/SOCAN) and label behavior
💥 What this means for real artists competing with millions of AI-generated tracks
💥 The new “Wild West” and how creators can reclaim ownership, leverage, and sustainability
💥 Terry’s upcoming solutions that reverse engineer the power structure — putting creators back in control
Terry also shares a behind-the-scenes look at launching the video version of the show from his Nashville studio — "The Delivery Room" — where decades of music have been born.
If you’re a creator who feels undervalued, overwhelmed, or overshadowed by the AI wave, this episode gives you clarity, context, and a blueprint for the future.
