Lawyer Reacts To Rick Beato - Isn't This Just Stealing?

Friday Sep 27, 2024

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle reacts to Rick Beato's video "isn't this just stealing" discussing interpolations in music. Miss Krystle delves into the concept of interpolation, explaining how it differs from sampling and covers, and why it's a critical issue in copyright law. She provides insights into how some artists manage to use identical melodies without crediting the original songwriters, raising important questions about rights and permissions in the music industry.

As a seasoned lawyer with 10 years of experience, Miss Krystle breaks down the legal nuances of interpolation, using Beato's examples of Miley Cyrus's "Prisoner" and Dua Lipa's "Break My Heart" to illustrate her points.

Miss Krystle also examines how copyright infringement cases hinge on proving access, substantial similarities, and intent. She explains how these types of cases can result in massive payouts for plaintiffs, with statutory damages potentially reaching up to $150,000 per infringement. The lawsuit could force Miley Cyrus to publicly reveal the inspiration behind her song, sparking even more interest in the case.
