Music Business

This week on Music Business, Morgan Perry breaks down the biggest power shifts happening behind the music—from Universal’s lawsuit against DistroKid and the industry’s crackdown on AI-driven streaming fraud to the rise of licensed AI, copyright, and new royalty models. Spotify is investing in 10,000 independent artists through Fresh Finds Forward, while Taylor Swift’s music videos push Spotify deeper into the YouTube territory. We also unpack Oasis’ new ticketing strategy, billions flowing into live entertainment, HYBE’s global talent machine, and the growing battle over fan data, discovery, and infrastructure. Plus, we explore unclaimed royalties and why independent artists need to understand their contracts, licensing, metadata, and ownership. The biggest takeaway? The song is only the product: the real music business is the ecosystem, technology, data, and money surrounding it.
