AI Music Creators EXPOSED

Monday Feb 17, 2025

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses how music platforms are developing new technology to detect AI-generated music, which could have major implications for artists. With thousands of AI-created tracks flooding streaming services daily, companies are beginning to take action, raising questions about how AI music will be categorized, promoted, or potentially restricted. As the industry adapts, creators using AI tools may need to consider how these changes could affect their visibility and opportunities.

With lawsuits piling up against AI music platforms like Suno and Udio, the legal landscape remains unclear. Major labels have accused these platforms of training on copyrighted material without permission, leading to debates over fair use and copyright infringement. As platforms improve AI detection, artists using AI in their process may soon have their work flagged or labeled. Whether this is a safeguard or a restriction on creativity remains to be seen, but it’s clear that AI music is facing increasing scrutiny.

This Is What You're ACTUALLY "Opting In" To... And It's Horrifying

Wednesday Jan 08, 2025

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a horrifying trend affecting creators, business owners, and anyone using digital platforms. YouTube, music platforms, and video services are now asking users to opt in and allow third-party companies to use their content to train AI models. This isn’t a distant issue—it's happening right now, and it has serious implications for intellectual property rights, compensation, and privacy. Miss Krystle breaks down what opting in means for creators and why you should think twice before agreeing to these terms. From vague promises of future payments to the unsettling reality of AI replicating human-created media, the potential consequences are far-reaching.

Miss Krystle also dives into examples from platforms like YouTube and TuneCore, highlighting how your content—videos, music, even photos—could be used without proper compensation. Whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or casual app user, this issue touches everyone. Companies claim to offer benefits like AI-powered copyright detection but fail to address how they’ll truly protect your rights or fairly compensate you.

Is This THE END For Independent Music Platforms?

Friday Jan 03, 2025

In this lawyer reacts episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle dives deep into the controversial acquisition of Downtown Music Holdings by Virgin Music Group under Universal Music Group for $775 million.
