Thank you so much for another amazingly informative and excellently presented video. Watched every bit (though I do listen at 1.75 speed). Will certainly contact you within the next few months in relation to the creation of a record label and representation of future scenarios that may unfold. @TopMusicAttorney - Thank you again and again.
landr has the clause mentioned in 26:00 because AI-generated stuff is treated like corporate copyright in the UK (AI's operator/custodian gets copyright for 50 years after creation, unwaivable royalty)
We need a Songtrust Video Series - They have 2 -4 with delay on registrations , they were also banned from some perfoming rights organzation , also a lot of unpayed Royalties , On my case i was paid 12, millions views or streams , only because i signed in another PRO (GEMA) they collected and songtrust has to pay these royalties , is the last scam in publishing services..
I think the ToS part about the cover art was saying that the art generations are theirs until you select one to use. This means if it gives you 3 images to choose from per generation, and you select one for cover art, the other 2 don't become yours as well, they just disappear into the electronic ether.
Glad you found this information helpful. Please feel free to reach out to my directly if you find yourself needing more music business education. krystle@topmusicattorney.com.
I’ve used Landr purely as a distributor on music that we 100 per cent own. Landr have been very good at paying in a timely manner and their reports seem to reflect reality of streams across the DSPs. In reality I have had a choice over which countries to distribute in and have been able to choose not to distribute in Russia. They are quite good at communication and have help with any problems that crop up. They are based in Canada and I am in the UK - so the time difference in communication is a bit inconvenient. I haven’t touched the other services.
@@TopMusicAttorney thanks Krystle I will be in touch in due course! I just had an survey from Landr asking all its members their opinions on the Landr AI fair trade program - good to see they are reaching out to us - could be lip service but still better than many of these companies….
Just wanna tell this about the ISRC codes. It’s a reply from the support team: ”The codes cannot be transferred to another LANDR account, but they can be used to migrate releases to another distributor” So your take on the subject is false…
You're great! I am from the UK but live in US and a musician. There is a big push in the UK right now to get this whole AI music business thing sorted out. Unlike the USA where musicians are just business, the UK govt kinda views music as of cultural significance. Consequently you will get $75 if you get a song played on a popular BBC radio show but absolutely diddly squat in America because....well culturally the musicians have always been ripped off in America. I am interested to see how this will go because I cannot see the laws being the same cross Atlantic, eg Duran Duran losing the legal case to get their American rights back in their dotage. How do you stop someone just firing up a VPN and using an American location to create the music? I reckon there needs to be a clearer definition on producer v musician with Wee Davie in the basement on AI being termed a producer because actually he is creating nothing. In other words, the AI company is actually the musician that gets musician rates and Wee Davie is just a producer getting producer rates, whatever they may be
Great video; I really appreciate this! Thanks for the explanations and filtering the jargon into easy terms to understand! Out of curiosity, as a person who is pursuing sync in reference to the non-transferrable ISRC and UPC from Landr, does this mean that the song is forever ineligible for opportunities? Do I have to take the song down and register it with a third-party entity to get UPC and ISRCs that are transferable, etc.?
Why the excitement about the Fair Trade AI Program terms…? It says “proportional to their data contribution in AI models that we host within our AI Tools in operation”, now what does that mean…? How big is your contribution to a given set? What is considered ‘data contribution’ when it comes to ‘training’ AI models? What models are or are not used in production? 🤷♂️
Thanks for the grest information.. I am new to your channel, just a quick question, in your own opinion, which one will you choose, distrokid or landr? Thanks
Hey thanks for the comment, please reach out to my legal assistant at admin@delgadoentertainmentlaw.com and we can set up a consultation to help you decide on which one you might like the best.
Why landr can't just do their job and let us do what we want with our own product and output. This is pure idiocy. I don't see why the trend is to control or eve ndistribute past their original purpose.
Hello, I’ve been following your content for a minute now, and I’ve found myself in need of some legal counsel! Recently I’ve decided to take my music career very seriously. After consistently marketing myself through social media over the last 6 months, I’ve generated over 250,000 Spotify streams. Expecting my first major payout from my distributor CD baby, to my disappointment my songs were removed from Spotifys platform. CD claims there were false streams and marketing malpractice but cannot provide any proof. From a legal and professional standpoint what steps would you advise I take to get paid my royalties and distribute my music moving forward? Please advise thanks!
@johnmcfadden4928 Hey thanks for reaching out - please feel free to contact me directly at krystle@topmusicattorney.com and we can discuss options to move forward.
Okay so this ai music thing is great as a tool to better production, but it’s shit as it is & most distributors won’t touch it even if you actually do own it all. I suggest instead of uploading ai songs, use them as a template & re create them without ai, use them as a reference and put your own voice and instruments, sounds & samples to it and do it almost exactly the same way but manually with a DAWS! Then when you’re done delete the ai version and roll with your own human version of it! That’s the way forward! The labels &distributors & publishers are terrified of ai music because of the evolving legal ramifications of it! Anyway cos I adore Ms.Krystle I thought I might help her followers find the best way to tackle it without upsetting those who are invested in real music eg the labels distributors & publishers. just use it as a reference to recreate the tracks in a traditional way. Did I mention? I’m High Mensa, I know! terrifying huh!!! I piss a lot of people off, but believe me they totally had it coming!!! 🙏🕊️✨✨🛸
She literally never says not to use these platforms. She simply tells you the rules you have to follow, and the things they can do, then the recourse you can take. Then you can decide to use the platform or not. If all you want to do is sell your songs, some of these platforms aren't suitable, others are. She's also working for change in the industry so there's less dodgy stuff in there
This service is obviously NOT for professional musicians. It is for hobbyists. All their TOS wording is clear and consistent. It if for your personal use. It is not geared for reselling.
🆕️ Land Rover?! I don't care. I can't afford dinner for a lawyer that would hate me with a faster car. Ten years, reslly?! Do you really own your very first copy of Tomb Raider, do you?! I don't know. Namastè.
I don’t see how you do it day to day. It is infuriating and repetitive and always the same. They want camera and microphone access, mother’s maiden name and bra size.?!

A video about the terms of "Too Lost" Distribution would be very interesting, as they seem to be a strong competition for Landr
After watching these videos, I'm really glad that I write my own songs and don't rely on third party loops or samples. Seems like asking for trouble.
I think the ToS part about the cover art was saying that the art generations are theirs until you select one to use. This means if it gives you 3 images to choose from per generation, and you select one for cover art, the other 2 don't become yours as well, they just disappear into the electronic ether.
Reading The TOS👎
Having Miss Krystle Read it to me 👍
I like to read product user manuals on my channel and you read/explain terms of service on yours. Good times!

We need a video Series About Songtrust!
They are the worse, I pulled my catalog from them 2 yrs ago
But what happens when a company infringes its terms of service ?
Nothing for the most part
@@climjames isn't it a contract for them too?
Forced arbitration, usually.
@@RealHomeRecording Not possible in the UK law, as UK doesn't let one give away their statutory rights
@@erkinalp nice! I think some States in the USA are like that too but not all.
Can you do Amuse next?

Is there a TLDR to share with people who may be wanting to switch from distrokid?
This video is literally the tldr in case you didn't want to read the terms of service yourself
@@RealHomeRecording but it’s still fifty times the attention span of most.

Do a video on ditto❤ -PREXENTS

it gets a bit tedious - soon we won't have a single platform to distribute music according to her...
