There’s a great community called The Lyrics Game - !thelyricsgame@lemmy.ca - where people post AI art of song lyrics and others try to guess the song.

This would have worked great! I bet it would have been guessed quickly as “Fireflies” is frequently guessed (but to my knowledge hasn’t been one of the songs yet).

Unfortunately, Apple has the resources, both legal and financial, to tie that up in the EU courts for decades.

Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.”

Apple has an annual legal budget of approximately infinity dollars. I assure you they are aware of this and they believe they are in compliance, even if just barely.

If challenged, they will have no problem fighting it — they have nearly as much cash on hand as the entire EU budget.

I hope the EU challenges this, and I hope the EU wins, but Apple isn’t going to be surprised by whatever happens.
