🎟️ The trial that could change concerts forever is officially underway.

The DOJ—backed by 40 states—is in court right now trying to break up Live Nation and Ticketmaster. The accusation? That they’ve built an iron grip over venues, artists, and ticketing that’s driven your fees through the roof.

A breakup of the 2010 merger could mean real competition in ticketing for the first time in years. Or Live Nation walks free.

Either way, your wallet is on the line.

Upcoming payment dates for BMI. Here’s what many writers and producers don’t realize: PRO royalties are split into two separate shares—the writer’s share and the publisher’s share. Each half gets paid to a different account.

If you’re only signed up as a writer and not also registered as a publisher, you are typically only receiving half of the money your songs earn. The publisher’s share does not automatically get paid to you.

Instead, those unpaid royalties often end up in what’s known as the “black box.”

The black box is a pool of unclaimed or unmatched royalties that PROs and other organizations hold when they cannot properly identify or pay the right publisher. After a certain period, those funds may be redistributed to other rights holders based on market share—meaning you can permanently lose money that was generated by your own songs.

If your catalog isn’t fully registered with both your writer and publisher accounts, you could be leaving real money behind.

DM me for help with registration so you can collect ALL of your royalties.

Every major artist started local, and the ones who last never forgot that. When you relocate and leave your first supporters behind, you’re not expanding you’re starting over. Grow out, not away.

Drake’s defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group has been dismissed.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, “the allegedly defamatory statements in ‘Not Like Us’ are nonactionable opinion.”

In other words, the court found that song lyrics, even if harsh, can’t form the basis of a defamation claim when they’re viewed as artistic expression or opinion, not fact.

This ruling underscores how difficult it is for public figures to succeed in defamation cases tied to creative works.

How may if you knew that Virgil Abloh published a “Free Game” website?

I’ll put the link in my bio.

👀 I mean we all assume it has been happening (and always has been to some extent) but it is surprising someone finally decided to investigate the new payola.

Platinum plaques. Sold-out shows. Zero dollars.
That’s the reality of Recoupment.

Labels recoup their costs from YOUR royalties, not theirs.

So even if you generate $1M, your 20% share is eaten up by the balance you ‘owe.’

Result: Label = profit. Artist = broke.

If you’re an artist, know the fine print before you sign. Contracts decide whether your success makes you rich, or just famous.

P.s. this is the same for distribution deals 🙃

Doesn’t help when artists aren’t collecting all of their money 🙃

🚨 Businesses, beware.

Using popular music in your social media posts can get you sued, even if you’re just “joining a trend.”

If you’re promoting your business, using someone else’s song without the proper license is treated the same as using it in any other paid or commercial promotion.

‼️ Artists, it doesn’t matter if you have 50 followers or 5 million. Your music still requires permission for commercial use, and you have the right to take action if it’s used without it.

No permission = legal risk
