In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle reacts to a video by musician and YouTuber Wings Of Pegasus titled "THIS is the BIGGEST musical fraud I've EVER seen." Wings Of Pegasus dives deep into the unethical practices of creators who take clips from popular competition shows like America's Got Talent and X Factor, blend them with cover songs they don't own, and upload the content to YouTube to collect ad revenue and royalties.
Miss Krystle analyzes the legal ramifications of these actions, exploring issues such as copyright infringement, intellectual property theft, and the misuse of fair use policies. She provides expert insights on how these practices not only violate copyright laws but also undermine the hard work of original artists and legitimate content creators. She also discusses the legality of releasing cover songs on streaming platforms and YouTube. Miss Krystle offers practical advice for musicians and YouTubers on protecting their work, understanding licensing agreements, and navigating the complexities of content monetization on digital platforms.
