Video Description

#tunecorelawsuit #musicindustrynews #lawyerreacts In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney Miss Krystle discusses a $500 million lawsuit against TuneCore and its parent company Believe Music by major record labels, including Universal Music Group (UMG), Capitol Records, and more. She draws parallels to her own legal battle with the distributor and highlights concerns over record labels using predatory tactics to profit from copyright infringement, with TuneCore and other platforms unintentionally distributing infringing music. Miss Krystle also explores the broader trend of major labels filing lawsuits against platforms like Suno, Udio, and the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine for copyright violations, using statutory damages as a weapon to target businesses rather than artists. 00:00 Coming Up 00:20 Introduction 00:30 Shocking Lawsuits You Didn’t Know About 00:46 How the Internet Might Be in Trouble 01:02 Major Players Under Fire for Big Mistakes 01:17 The Dangerous Weapon You Didn’t Know About 01:45 My Battle With Tunecore 02:15 Predatory Method By Record Labels 02:35 Big Accusations in the Music Industry 03:03 The Shocking Truth About Music Contracts 04:28 What You Need to Know About Online Terms 05:29 Social Media's Role in Music Chaos 07:18 Illegal Moves by Popular Platforms 08:11 The Dark Side of Music Distribution 08:48 Are Artists Breaking the Law? 10:34 Huge Problems with Music Platforms 11:34 The Hidden Cost of Copyright Violations 12:18 Copyright Wars: The Big Power Struggle 13:14 Distributors Take Down Music After Claims 15:23 Industry Secrets Exposed: What’s Really Going On? 16:27 Distributing Cover Songs 17:31 Who Actually Owns the Music? 18:22 The Shocking Facts About Copyright Exploitation 18:32 The Unseen Impact of Massive Music Uploads 19:51 Inside the Broken Distribution System 21:33 Infringement Drama: What You Need to Know 22:15 Fast Music, Fast Money: The Untold Story 23:25 The Controversial Remix Dilemma 24:26 Are Platforms Really Protecting You? 25:53 How Claims Are Changing the Industry 27:55 Is the System Designed to Fail? 29:45 The Truth Behind Music Removals 31:08 Copyright Violations on the World’s Biggest Platform 31:29 How the System is Actually Benefiting From This 32:08 Big Tracks Under Fire for Copyright Issues 33:22 Sped Up & Remixes Lead To Increased Revenues For TuneCore 34:20 The Dangers of Skirting the Law 35:01 The Real Impact of Copyright Abuse 35:47 Massive Lawsuits and the Fight for $500 Million 36:11 The War Between Labels and Music Businesses 36:58 What TuneCore's Response Should Be 38:07 Conclusion Legal Disclaimer: The information, ideas, and suggestions in this video are not intended to be legal advice.
