nothing beats the deeply humane, analog sound of Autechre on vinyl. Unmediated by computers, really captures their warmth
Autechre's Confield album, resting on top of a record player, that is playing it.

By way of background, on January 1, 2019, Japan's revised Copyright Act came into effect, making Japan one of the world's most AI-friendly countries. Article 30-4 was implemented, allowing broad rights to ingest and use copyrighted works for any type of information analysis, including for the purpose of training AI models. Unlike the UK and the EU, which allow the ingestion of copyrighted works only for non-commercial purposes, Japan allows it also for commercial use, purposes other than production and apparently including the ingestion of illegally obtained content, such as pirated copyright material. According to reports, in a committee meeting, Japan's Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Keiko Nagoaka indicated AI companies in Japan can use "whatever they want" for AI training "regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise." This position led to Japan being called a "machine learning paradise." The only exceptions imposed under the law are when such ingestion was for the "enjoyment" of the thoughts or sentiments expressed in a work in a way that "unjustly harms" the interests of the copyright holder. The law, however, provides little detail as to how this exception was to be interpreted by courts.
