  • Who Owns a Song an AI Helped Write? What the US Copyright Office Says

    Who Owns a Song an AI Helped Write? What the US Copyright Office Says
    15 Oct 2026
    If AI helped write your song, can you copyright it? This episode explains what the U.S. Copyright Office concluded in its January 2025 report on the copyrightability of AI outputs: prompts alone are not enough, but human-authored lyrics, melodies, selection, arrangement and creative edits can be protected, and using AI as an assistive tool does not by itself remove protection.
    This covers United States copyright policy only, and the law is still developing. Other countries differ, and platform terms are a separate question. This is general education, not legal advice. For your own work, speak to a qualified copyright attorney.

  • How Much Does Spotify Really Pay Per Stream, and Who Gets the Money?

    How Much Does Spotify Really Pay Per Stream, and Who Gets the Money?
    14 Oct 2026
    How much does Spotify pay per stream? The honest answer is that Spotify does not pay a fixed rate. This episode explains the pro-rata payment model, why published per-stream averages are only estimates, what the commonly cited range of a few tenths of a cent really means, and how that money is divided between labels, distributors, publishers and artists.
    All math in this episode is a labeled illustration, not a promise. Sources named: Spotify's Loud & Clear report and published industry analysis of it. This is general education, not financial advice.

    He Signed the Deal in One Afternoon. It Took Nine Years to Read It. (A Fictional Story) | The Bad Record Deal
    12 Oct 2026
    A young songwriter, a label offer, one afternoon and a pen. A fictional story about the clauses nobody explained: the advance that was really a loan, the royalty rate that sounded generous, and the day nine years later when he finally read every page.
    This is a fictional story. Names, companies and events are invented. It is storytelling, not legal advice. Before signing any contract, speak to a qualified entertainment attorney.
