Kate Bush articulated the album’s message, asserting that these changes threaten to unjustly transfer artists' original works to A.I. companies without any compensation. The revised regulations imply that artists must take an initiative to "opt out" to safeguard their intellectual property rights, as opposed to being automatically protected. This shift in responsibility from the developers to the creators is seen by critics as not just burdensome but detrimental to the creative industry, emphasizing the risks faced when AI technology intersects with artists' rights. The public can submit opinions regarding these proposals until the deadline on Tuesday night, amidst broader discussions on copyright laws in the AI age.

Ed Newton-Rex, the organizer behind the album and head of Fairly Trained, a nonprofit for ethical AI training practices, decried the implications of the government’s approach, stressing the need for a more protective framework for artists. While the album may not feature traditional melodies, its stark silence and subtle soundscapes are resonating with the message they seek to convey about the future of creativity in an AI-driven world.
