Episode Summary

In Episode 5 of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey sits down with entertainment attorney Alan Clarke and intellectual property attorney Gavin Strube for a timely conversation about AI, copyright, licensing, digital replicas, and the legal questions facing musicians, artists, writers, and creators.

The conversation begins with one of the central questions in the current creative economy: what happens when AI becomes part of the creative process? Gavin frames one of the episode’s key ideas clearly: creators need to be able to show that “the AI is the brush, not the artist.” From there, Joey, Alan, and Gavin dig into how artists should document prompts and process, why there is no simple “magic percentage” of human involvement that guarantees copyright protection, and what creators should understand before registering AI-assisted work.
