“We’re artists. We’re not here to be reasonable, or to do what’s necessary, or to cater to regulatory appetites. We’re here to be unreasonable, unnecessary, and counter-appetite. If we stand for opt-in and all we get is opt-out, at least we tried.”

Whereas some advocate for opting out of model data as the only realistic resolution, McDonald doubles down on artists granting permission first.
