Music: Difference between revisions

[[File:Cyraxx Guitar.jpg|thumb|308x308px|WILKINS IS GOD]]Much like [[Daniel Larson Incident|Daniel Larson]], [[Cyraxx]] has been pursuing '''music''' ever since he was a kid - more specifically, becoming a rapper and DJ. Cyraxx has been making ''"music"'' since the inception of his [[Social Media Accounts|first channel]] such as rap-style content and occasional rock music, but like any [[Art|form of art]] he tries to produce, the end product lacks any sort of quality. In Cyraxx's delusion world, his music is of course pure gold waiting to be discovered by a producer or the wider public, upholding his work as nothing less than pure genius and going as far as claiming that he created his very own genre of music.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mmHHnDKuPc</ref> Cyraxx's music, even though it isn't very good, is the only real job he's had, as he has made a staggering $5.81 off of music streaming and was once signed onto a record label by [[Erik Skrubbalo]] before betraying him and getting kicked off of it. Cyraxx has "''made''" many songs on his SoundCloud,<ref>https://soundcloud.com/chance-wilkins-503864482/albums</ref> Spotify,<ref>https://open.spotify.com/album/0oixypa4f1Y9dyFRfnbpSL</ref> and YouTube channels where his discography is archived. His music is not good and he very rarely actually makes his own original music, only screaming over pre-made beats at 3 in the morning and waking up his parents, as shown in the Chester Bennington scream video.

Copyrights and due royalties have been an ever-pervasive issue in Cyraxx’s musical “career." While Cyraxx is more than happy to steal beats from other artists, use AI to create tracks (if not entire songs) and whine at musicians and producers for charging too much for their work,<ref>https://youtu.be/UN0D50Q_pUk?t=90</ref> he is extremely defensive about the rights and value of his own “work”. However, due to laziness, [[Intelligence|limited intellect]], or [[Finances|non-existent financial means]], Cyraxx was never able to formally protect any of his work, leaving the door wide open for trolls to swoop in and claim his music as theirs.  

His understanding of copyright law appears to be both deeply flawed and highly self-serving. While he is correct in believing that intellectual property is automatically granted upon the creation of a work, he often overlooks the practical realities of enforcement - namely that rights typically go to the party who registers or files first. This has left him vulnerable to copyright trolls and largely powerless to dispute their claims, as he lacks the knowledge or means to properly contest them. In addition, he seems to be under the impression that intellectual property falls under criminal law, and thus threatens whoever takes his music with prison sentences.  

When the topic of him taking music material without permission is brought up, Chance is quick to deflect with excuses or claim that his accusers have no proof. He frequently cites "sampling" or covering songs as justification for using another artist's track, arguing that adding his own lyrics or vocals makes the work his own. However, for such uses to qualify as fair use, they must be meaningfully transformative, Chance’s alterations usually fall well below that standard, leaving him open to legitimate infringement claims.
