Legendary Vanuatu musician Reynolds spent decades building his reggae fusion sound with band Vatdoro. Now, AI-generated covers of his songs are circulating online without his knowledge or consent. It's an issue impacting musicians from every corner of the globe with AI music providing a quick, easy and cheap way to make music - but it's also made infringing copyright easier than ever. Lillyrose Welwel has this story from Port Vila. ‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea. #ABCThePacific Watch The Pacific on ABC Australia or on ABC iView: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/pacific Like ABC Pacific on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ABCPacific Follow ABC Pacific on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcpacific/ For more from ABC Pacific news, click here: https://www.abc.net.au/pacific Subscribe: https://ab.co/3yqPOZ5 Note: In most cases, our captions are auto-generated. #ABCNewsIndepth #ABCNewsAustralia
