The AI copyright war isn't just an American story. In this Music Row Dealmakers special Gavel Drop episode, entertainment attorney Barry Neil Shrum breaks down two landmark November 2025 European rulings that went in opposite directions — and what they signal for the music you make.

We cover:
• Munich's GEMA v. OpenAI — the first major European ruling holding an AI developer liable for memorizing and reproducing song lyrics
• London's Getty v. Stability AI — an AI-company win that turned on jurisdiction, not a broad blessing of AI training
• Why the two systems split — and why Europe has no U.S.-style fair use
• The EU AI Act's training-data disclosure rules and why they're a game-changer
• My forecast for the GEMA v. Suno case and a widening transatlantic gap

This is general information, not legal advice.
