Sure, but the AI researcher didn't have a license for the original work that granted them the rights to "perform it" for AI.
This is the part of a larger conversation that foreshadows 'augmented humans', which are only a few years away. Enhancing our own capabilities with cybernetic agents is not something which will be easy to regulate. The only difference here is that the AI agent in its current form is external to the humans.
Just because we have ears doesn't mean we're not allowed to use ear enhancers.
And just because we have brains doesn't imply that we're not allowed to have knowledge enhancer agents to help [some among us] get smarter.
These will become so commonplace that no one will bat an eye at any of this, besides which real-time generative music that never repeats will also render such claims obsolete.
TL;DR: For now if they don't want to have that music listened to, imitated or copied, they should consider keeping it safely off the Internet.
