In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the growing tension around Spotify's public metrics—monthly listeners, stream counts, and how they may be shaping a fake perception of success for artists. From Russ’s viral X commentary to broader concerns about the industry’s obsession with numbers, this episode digs into how visibility into stats might be doing more harm than good.
Miss Krystle explores how these metrics are used by labels, promoters, and fans—and how they might be distorting what really matters... the music.

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle, and Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop) break down the sudden termination of Shira Perlmutter, former head of the U.S. Copyright Office, just days after releasing a major report on AI and copyright law. The timing raises serious questions about political influence, tech industry lobbying, and the future of copyright enforcement. They explore what the report really said, why AI companies like Suno and Udio are under fire, and how artists may be left vulnerable in the wake of rapid technological change.
The conversation expands into how current policy decisions—and potentially retaliatory firings—could reshape the music industry and creative rights as a whole. From copyright litigation strategies to the ethics of AI-generated music.

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast titled "This Is SO Stupid", Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses how nearly $10 billion in digital performance royalties have been funneled through SoundExchange—and why a large chunk of that money may be sitting in a fund you can’t touch. From royalty splits to artist registrations, Miss Krystle breaks down the confusing system that governs how your music earns on platforms like SiriusXM and Pandora, and why 5% of your royalties might be quietly diverted without your knowledge. If you're an independent artist, producer, or songwriter, this is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.
The episode also explores how various performance rights organizations, unions like AFM/SAG-AFTRA, and music distributors factor into royalty collection and payment. Miss Krystle reviews letters submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office, questions the lack of government oversight, and shares real examples from her own SoundExchange account. Learn how to check if you're owed money, why you need to register, and what it means when royalties go to funds instead of you.

Spotify's latest update is setting a dangerous precedent, and the full impact hasn't even hit yet. In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle breaks down the TERRIFYING Spotify Update and what it means for artists. With changes to how music is used on the platform, including new remix and mashup features, many artists have unknowingly agreed to terms that could reshape their careers. Major distributors like DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and Too Lost are already involved, and the industry is shifting in ways that could leave independent musicians at a serious disadvantage.
And Spotify isn’t the only one—other platforms are now following suit. With the introduction of a Deluxe Premium tier and direct deals being struck with major labels, royalties are being diluted, and the traditional streaming model is evolving in ways that may not favor creators. Are artists losing control of their music without even realizing it?
