Who Owns Your Beats When You Sell Them? + Therapy For Musicians (MEC Podcast 161)

If you’re selling or leasing beats online, who owns the beats? There’s a lot of confusion about this, but Pain has a strong opinion on single-ownership and why it’s a problem that all musicians should fight. Erinn discusses consistency and praises Dame for recording the podcast on his Honeymoon. Erinn and Pain both have a therapy session, right on camera.
