Saturday Mar 08, 2025

#AiMusicScam #LawyerReacts #AiMusicLaw
In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle investigates whether music AI companies like Lalals and Mureka are operating legally or putting users at risk. These platforms claim to offer AI-generated voices and music creation tools, but are they playing by the rules? Miss Krystle examines their terms of service, publicity rights concerns, and potential copyright violations to determine if these companies are truly safe for artists and producers—or if they’re setting users up for legal trouble.

With lawsuits against AI music companies like Udio and Suno on the rise, Miss Krystle breaks down what creators need to know before using these platforms. Are Lalals and Mureka protecting musicians, or are they exposing them to infringement claims? From voice cloning to AI training data, this episode unpacks the fine print and legal risks behind these services so artists can make informed decisions before they get caught in a legal mess.

Congress DEMANDS Investigation Of PROs: ASCAP, BMI, SESAC | Lawyer Reacts

Thursday Mar 06, 2025

#PROInvestigation #LawyerReacts #CongressPRO
In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a major development in the fight for transparency and oversight in the music industry. With Congress urging the Copyright Office to examine performance rights organizations (PROs) and licensing practices, this could be a game-changer for artists and songwriters. The multi-billion dollar business of music royalties has long been controlled by unregulated middlemen, and now lawmakers are stepping in to investigate potential gaps, unfair contracts, and missing payments. Miss Krystle breaks down what this means for creators and how this moment could reshape the way artists get paid.

From the major PROs like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC to newer players like GMR, Pro Music Rights, and AllTrack, the industry is shifting. With a federal inquiry now underway, there's an opportunity for musicians to have their voices heard and push for fairer royalty distribution. Miss Krystle unpacks the latest developments, the role of consent decrees, and what steps artists should take next. This is an important conversation for anyone earning royalties from their music—be sure to watch and share with a fellow creator.

Dear Music Distributors... (It's Time To Act!)

Monday Mar 03, 2025

#DearMusicDistributors #OpenLetter #RiseUp
In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle addresses music distributors directly. The industry has operated without oversight for too long, and the cracks are starting to show. With contracts that allow distributors to withhold royalties at will, independent artists are left powerless. This isn’t just business as usual—it’s a system built to benefit the few at the expense of the many.

Miss Krystle’s open letter is a warning. The excuses of “industry standard” won’t hold up forever, and change is coming one way or another. The question is, will distributors fix the problem before it’s too late?

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.
