In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a growing fight between major music publishers, social platforms, and content creators.

If you create, react, remix, or monetize content online, this conversation reveals how the music industry is reshaping control, money, and power in digital media.
