This is so true, the system is broken beyond belief. I want to write a rant here but let’s just say the article is right on all counts.

It’s obvious tech companies as always bowed to one party and listened to them, and didn’t incorporate the user in this. (And to the few that do : thank you)

I kinda feel like the solution is to stop promoting artist that sign with labels? Like the label doesn’t want you to use the music. the artist chose the label to protect their right's

also, it does seem a little whiny on Beato’s part. He’s not wrong that allowing the music on his channel is probably a net positive for the artist and the label but at the same time he’s benefiting from the music. if he wasn’t then he would be fine with removing it

It’s all brinkmanship: if you can’t unilaterally control it, the instinct is to destroy it.

I work in tech, but thanks to some stubborn drive for creation my parents instilled in me, I also make music. And honestly, compared to music, even the advertising industry feels cutting-edge. Music is still operating with one foot stuck decades in the past.

The music in question would be the music of the artist he's interviewing at the time, the absurdity is that you can interview the creator but not show what they've created.

The absurdity is that someone else then the creator can hold the copyright.

In Germany there is a distinction between the selling rights and the creator rights and a company can never be the creator nor can you sell the creator rights.

Mmm... what? He talks about music. It would be hard to do lectures about paintings, or architecture, without showing anything. How can he demonstrate what he's talking about if he can't play even a very short excerpt of the piece he's commenting?

If the creator gave up their copyright then it's not absurd, it's law. This is why it's important for budding artists to keep their masters.
