Don’t Use Loops/Samples? + Managers Do Too Much (MEC Podcast 151)

Selling beats online or just uploading them on YouTube? Wonder why you’re getting copyright strikes for using royalty free samples? The problem is ContentID systems and they may be violating federal copyright law. Will platforms like Splice eventually sue YouTube and other platforms? Also, many good managers do way too much for their artists. This sounds like a good thing, but it can be a major relationship killer. Listen and learn why.
