*Charged for falsifying his identity and billing info

Posting AI-generated songs is perfectly legal, and there are other people who have made 6 figures doing this without committing fraud

The charges have nothing to do with the content he uploaded. Are people so ready to give their opinion on AI that they assume AI must be the reason he's getting charged?

Yup, the key difference is their listeners are actually human.
