In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle breaks down the latest Spotify update that could reshape how independent artists distribute and monetize their music. With Spotify rolling out a new premium tier, expanding derivative work permissions through distributors like TuneCore, DistroKid, and CD Baby, and striking exclusive deals with major labels, independent artists may be left in the dark. What does this mean for your music? Are these changes benefiting you, or are they setting new traps for independent creators?

From remix and mashup features to AI-driven content generation, these updates raise serious concerns about ownership, royalties, and consent. Miss Krystle dives into the fine print, exposing the red flags hidden in distributor agreements and what they mean for your rights.
