Composers/musicians using the website @AudioJungle by @envato to sell royalty free music - Envato have 'updated' - their T&C's to **now have AI train on your items that you have authored and uploaded** You are opted in AUTOMATICALLY. Additionally, your items will now be licensed "in perpetuity" becuase an AI cannot 'forget' what it has learned. There is no mention of any profit share for authors from AI works derived from authors' compositions. If you don't want your items to be trained by AI, you need to remove them from the marketplace by June 1st. There is (currently) no opt-out available. While I appreciate AI is inevitable and some people will be embracing this, the immediacy with which @envato has gone about it while seemingly going against some of their core values is striking. I can't believe they didn't give authors a choice, and have only given 20 days notice to find an alternative. For those who might be dependent on income from the site, it puts them in a massive quandiary, especially with the lack of time to find an alternate solution. It's frankly shameful behaviour. I've had an author account there since 2009 - which I will now remove. It kept me afloat during my early years in the industry. I also reviewed items on the site. This policy change and sudden implementation is disgraceful, and I'm now sorry to have been associated with @audiojungle and @envato in any way.

Today seems like a good day to remind people about the documentary series we filmed with #CMPunk about his journey to fighting in the UFC. I think you get a good glimpse into what drives the man here: youtu.be/dQ7B8KfG7Us via @YouTube
