In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a $600 million lawsuit brought by major record labels against the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) for copyright infringement. While traveling to New Jersey for depositions, Miss Krystle shares insights on how labels are shifting from relying on streaming revenue to pursuing legal claims for statutory damages, which can amount to $150,000 per instance of infringement.
Miss Krystle also emphasizes the importance of copyright registration for artists, explaining how proper legal documentation can enable musicians to protect their creative works and claim statutory damages in infringement cases. She encourages artists to adopt a mindset similar to record labels, diversifying their income streams and leveraging their catalogs to secure financial success. Forget Spotify... how record labels are REALLY making money!

In the day when physical media was king, and radio airplay made hits, the biz (while still not removed from crooked practices) made incredible money for nearly everyone. Now instead of a bazillion record labels there are four major corporations who control everything… and the homogenous product that’s resulted from this is nothing but a yawn. The current music biz is a monopolistic entity that needs to be broken up.

Yet another reason to buy from independent artists and record labels.

They big image licensors would try to sign up photographers who had tons of photo shoots, but had been granted simple permission to hold shoots on commercial properties. Some of the photographers were only allowed to shoot if they provided final proofs of the end works. Of course the photographers licensed the work afterwards and ignored their initial promises to the people who allowed the shoot to even happen. My point is the big image licensors would try to extort everyone they could think of afterwards.

Some one came through our city 15 years ago and handing out CRI papers for radio play in restaurants , businesses. All business establishments were told they were to pay a musicians ( representative organization ? ) union fees. I don't recall the specifics. However, we told them to F::: off, see you in court. The right to public airplay have been contracted and paid by stations are in the public airway. While not the same issue it seems that double dipping and no verification that the artist they claim t protect would even benefit. Doesnt hurt Miss Krystle is easy on the eyes.

@aaronsinger 3 часа назад

You don't even know what the f you're talking about. Why did you post? Of course restaurants and bars have to pay fees for using music for their business. It;s how composers and publishers get paid, not the record companies. MY primary source of income as a composer. You didn't tell anybody to "f off, see you in court." You're a liar or a fool, probably both.

@DivineMisterAdVentures 11 дней назад

FUN! You're on the case. So here's what I think - which is usually pretty good. We used to have a tape and watch later exception to the big C. People could record on their VCR and watch anything broadcast at their convenience - and I don't recall any limitations to it - requiring erasure after a single viewing - not even for example showing it to an audience just like the original broadcast, I think. The difference is precisely in the broadcast arrangement, vs renting or purchasing a Video tape (going back). Consumer Licensing is not that different now in the case of streaming / on-demand media - it just by-passes the manufacturing. So although I could be missing something, specifically the way-back machine, should be able to function on that basis. PLUS - you have the opportunity to make new precedent on an EQUITY / FAIRNESS BASIS - where the rules for this use can be set to some reasonable standard, and not the same standard as actual infringement. Just maintain that this use is not actual infringement - it's simply sharing and has that precedent. I think. AS A BACKSTOP to this argument, keep in mind that a fundamental element of constitutionally sound law (and established within the U.S.) - is that in order to be guilty of a crime, at all, even an unintentional one - the accused MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN FAIR WARNING. IOW, this is not the same situation as standard model copyright violation - it's something lesser, something unresolved, and something that could not have been assumed under this "warning doctrine." You can win this case with that. I think. 7:)

@Erebus369 4 дня назад

0:25 Wayback machine only saves website data as a whole. So they would need to go after the actual developer or owner of the website as they would be the enitity that uploaded the data to their site! Which might be their own websites as well because it would have these record labels websites backed up. This is a funny grey area! Heres an analogy you cant sue a library for having a historical book because the publisher is unhappy that they can't claim the missed profit from reselling the books on loan through the library.

Rights holders are not just looking for a quick and easy payout here - they want to shut down the wayback machine forever. IA are lucky if a settlement can be reached - not that they will be able to pay rights holders anything in 'damages', since there is no profit structure in place (which should have disqualified any claim to begin with, but I digress).
