一位民谣音乐人成了人工智能伪造品的受害者,也成了版权流氓的靶子。

内容总结:
今年一月,民谣艺术家墨菲·坎贝尔发现其Spotify账户中出现了多首并非由她本人上传的歌曲。这些歌曲虽使用她的录音素材,但人声部分存在明显异样,疑似被人从YouTube下载后利用人工智能技术伪造并冒名上传至流媒体平台。
更令她困扰的是,尽管她演奏的曲目属于公共版权领域,却仍遭遇了版权恶意投诉。在《滚石》杂志报道其遭遇AI仿冒事件当天,一个名为“墨菲·莱德”的用户通过分销商Vydia向YouTube提交了多段未公开视频,并以此对坎贝尔的多个作品发起版权主张,导致其视频收入被强制分流。值得注意的是,被主张版权的歌曲均是《松林深处》等流传百年的公共领域民谣经典。
尽管Vydia事后解除了相关主张并封禁了该用户,称其平台无效投诉率仅0.02%,但坎贝尔认为这远非个案。她指出,当前生成式AI、音乐分发与版权保护体系存在多重漏洞,而Spotify虽测试推出艺术家手动审核功能,她仍对大型平台的承诺持保留态度。
目前,冒名歌曲仍在Spotify以不同艺人主页形式流传,而坎贝尔的经历正折射出人工智能时代创作者面临的新型侵权困境与版权机制的系统性风险。

今年一月,民谣艺术家墨菲·坎贝尔发现自己的Spotify主页上出现了几首不属于她的歌曲。这些歌曲虽是她本人录制的作品,但她从未将其上传至Spotify平台,且人声部分存在明显异常。
民谣音乐人沦为AI仿冒品与版权流氓的双重目标
墨菲·坎贝尔演奏的本是公共领域民谣,但YouTube平台依然通过了针对她视频的版权主张。
她迅速推断出事件原委:有人从她发布在YouTube的演出视频中提取素材,利用AI生成仿唱版本,并以她的名义上传至流媒体平台。笔者选取其中一首歌曲《四玛丽》进行了两种不同AI检测工具的验证,结果均显示该曲目很可能由AI生成,这进一步印证了她的怀疑。
坎贝尔对此感到震惊:"我原本以为这类行为会面临更多审核关卡,但现实给我上了一课。"她在接受The Verge采访时坦言。经过漫长周折,坎贝尔才成功移除这些虚假歌曲,她自嘲道:"我简直成了平台眼中的麻烦精。"即便如此,这场斗争仍未取得完全胜利。虽然侵权曲目已从YouTube Music和Apple Music下架,但至少仍有一首歌曲存留在Spotify——只不过被转移至另一个同名艺术家的主页。如今平台上出现了多个"墨菲·坎贝尔"账号,正版坎贝尔对此讽刺道:"这简直让我'欣喜若狂'。"
Spotify正在测试新系统,允许艺术家在歌曲出现在个人主页前进行人工审核。但吃过亏的坎贝尔对此持怀疑态度:"每当这类大型机构向音乐人作出承诺时,最终结果往往与宣传不符。不过未来我仍会好奇尝试这个功能。"然而,这只是坎贝尔噩梦的开端。
就在《滚石》杂志发表探讨坎贝尔遭遇AI仿冒事件文章的当天,一系列视频通过发行商Vydia上传至YouTube。这些视频并未公开可见,目前除化名"墨菲·莱德"的上传者外,尚不清楚是否有人观看过。YouTube对此事拒绝置评。
这些视频被用来主张墨菲·坎贝尔多个作品的所有权。坎贝尔收到YouTube通知称:"您正在与视频《亲爱的科里》中检测到的音乐版权方共享收益。"最令人困惑的是,这些版权主张涉及的歌曲均属公共领域作品,包括可追溯至19世纪70年代的经典民谣《松林深处》——从铅肚皮到涅槃乐队(改编版名为《昨夜你在何处安眠》)都曾演绎过这首作品。
Vydia现已撤销相关主张,发言人罗伊·拉曼纳表示上传者已被永久封禁。他特别指出,通过YouTube内容识别系统提交的600多万次主张中,仅0.02%被判定无效,"按行业标准这堪称惊人成绩",并强调"我们始终以合规操作为荣"。
拉曼纳同时声明Vydia与Timeless IR公司无关,也未曾参与以坎贝尔名义上传AI翻唱作品的事件。尽管两起事件时间巧合令人怀疑,但他坚称二者并无关联。
Vydia目前正面临强烈反弹,拉曼纳透露公司甚至收到"实质性死亡威胁",导致办公室被迫疏散。坎贝尔虽不打算轻易放过Vydia,但也指出问题不能完全归咎于单一方。生成式AI、音乐发行与版权领域本就存在复杂的系统性漏洞和滥用风险,她深刻指出:"这潭水比我们想象的深得多。"

In January, folk artist Murphy Campbell discovered several songs on her Spotify profile that did not belong there. They were songs that she had recorded, but she’d never uploaded them to Spotify, and something was off about the vocals.
A folk musician became a target for AI fakes and a copyright troll
Murphy Campbell plays public domain ballads, but YouTube accepted the copyright claim anyway.

Murphy Campbell plays public domain ballads, but YouTube accepted the copyright claim anyway.
She quickly surmised that someone had pulled performances of the songs she posted to YouTube, created AI covers, and uploaded them to streaming platforms under her name. I ran one of the songs, “Four Marys”, through two different AI detectors, and it seemed to support her suspicions with both saying it was probably AI-generated.
Campbell was shocked, “I was kind of under the impression that we had a little bit more checks in place before someone could just do that. But, you know, a lesson learned there,” she told The Verge. It took some time before Campbell managed to get the fake songs removed, “I became a pest,” she said. And even then, it wasn’t a complete victory. While the offending tracks don’t appear to be available on YouTube Music or Apple Music anymore, at least one can still be found on Spotify, just under a different artist profile, but with the same name. There are now multiple Murphy Campbells — “Obviously, I was thrilled by that,” the real Murphy Campbell said.
Spotify is testing a new system that would allow artists to manually approve songs before they appear on their profile, but Campbell is skeptical after being burned. “I feel like, every time, an entity that’s that large makes a promise like that to musicians. It seems to just not be what they made it out to be, but I’ll be curious to try it out in the future,” she said.
This was just the beginning of Campbell’s nightmare, however.
On the day that a Rolling Stone article was published, discussing Campbell’s brush with AI imitators, a series of videos were uploaded to YouTube through distributor Vydia. Those videos have not been posted publicly, and it’s unclear if anyone other than the uploader, who goes by Murphy Rider, has seen them. YouTube declined to comment for this story.
Those were used to claim ownership of the material in several of Murphy Campbell’s videos. Campbell received a notice from YouTube reading: “You are now sharing revenues with the copyright owners of the music detected in your video, Darling Corey.” The most confusing part, the songs at the center of these claims are all in the public domain, including the classic “In the Pines,” which dates back to at least the 1870s and has been covered by everyone from Lead Belly to Nirvana (as “Where Did You Sleep Last Night”).
Vydia has since released those claims, and spokesperson Roy LaManna says the person who uploaded the videos has been banned from their platform. Of the over 6,000,000 claims filed by Vydia through YouTube’s Content ID system, 0.02 percent were found to be invalid, which LaManna says is, “by industry standards is like amazing.” Continuing, “we pride ourselves on doing this the right way.”
LaManna also says that Vydia has no connection to Timeless IR or the AI covers that were uploaded to streaming platforms under Campbell’s name. While the timing is certainly suspicious, LaManna says the two incidents are separate.
Vydia has received a lot of blowback including, LaManna says, “literal death threats” which have led to the offices being evacuated. Campbell isn’t about to let Vydia off the hook, but notes that it’s not solely to blame. The worlds of generative AI, music distribution, and copyright are complex with multiple points of failure and opportunities for abuse. “I think it goes way deeper than we think it does,” Campbell says.
