The Fate of AI-Generated Music, and Ophelia, too in Brazil, with Flavia Murad-Schaal | O destino da música gerada por inteligência artificial, e também a Sina de Ofélia, no Brasil, com Flavia Murad-Schaal

What happens when artificial intelligence creates a viral hit—and no one knows who made it?

In this fascinating episode of Intangify, host Matthew Asbell sits down with Flavia Murad-Schaal, a Brazilian attorney and expert in IP and entertainment law, to unpack the controversy surrounding “Assina de Ofélia”—an AI-generated Brazilian version of Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.” The track, which mimicked the voices of two major Brazilian artists without their consent, sparked national buzz—and complex legal questions.

Together, they explore what this viral moment means for copyright, personality rights, platforms, and the law’s struggle to keep up with technology.

🔎 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How a completely AI-generated song became Brazil’s unofficial summer anthem
• Why Taylor Swift, Luísa Sonza, and Dilsinho all have rights to assert—and why none of them may sue
• The difference between copyright, right of publicity, and Brazil’s unique “personality rights”
• Why platforms like YouTube and AI tools like Suno are walking a legal tightrope
• Whether trademark law should evolve to protect the sound of a voice—not just the words

Key takeaway:
🎵 Even viral success has a legal backbeat—and when AI takes center stage, the spotlight shines brightest on the rights we can’t yet fully define.
