Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles composer Kumi Tanioka has expressed concern over an album appearing on Spotify under her name. Tanioka, a verified artist on Spotify, expressed her disbelief, questioning whether the album titled 'A Village Built on Wind' was crafted by someone bearing her name or generated with AI. Despite her being a bona fide creator on Spotify, the EP was erroneously associated with her.
Digital Sonic Design, a publisher of her music, issued a statement clarifying that while the tracks did not infringe on her copyright, their attribution to Tanioka could lead to public confusion. They also pointed out that YouTube Music had labeled these songs as AI-generated. According to the statement, this seems to be an exploitation of vulnerabilities within streaming service platforms, possibly stemming from prior instances where unofficial unreleased tracks were replicated and disseminated via ear copying.
