Thank you so much for another amazingly informative and excellently presented video. Watched every bit (though I do listen at 1.75 speed). Will certainly contact you within the next few months in relation to the creation of a record label and representation of future scenarios that may unfold. @TopMusicAttorney - Thank you again and again.
landr has the clause mentioned in 26:00 because AI-generated stuff is treated like corporate copyright in the UK (AI's operator/custodian gets copyright for 50 years after creation, unwaivable royalty)
We need a Songtrust Video Series - They have 2 -4 with delay on registrations , they were also banned from some perfoming rights organzation , also a lot of unpayed Royalties , On my case i was paid 12, millions views or streams , only because i signed in another PRO (GEMA) they collected and songtrust has to pay these royalties , is the last scam in publishing services..
Just wanna tell this about the ISRC codes. It’s a reply from the support team: ”The codes cannot be transferred to another LANDR account, but they can be used to migrate releases to another distributor” So your take on the subject is false…
@@SaltedBeatz I wonder if if states that on the standard contract you would sign with Landr instead of going by what a company representative tells you?
Stunning video with loads of information. Thank you, this has been extremely helpful in making my decision on which distribution platform to sign up with.
I’ve used Landr purely as a distributor on music that we 100 per cent own. Landr have been very good at paying in a timely manner and their reports seem to reflect reality of streams across the DSPs. In reality I have had a choice over which countries to distribute in and have been able to choose not to distribute in Russia. They are quite good at communication and have help with any problems that crop up. They are based in Canada and I am in the UK - so the time difference in communication is a bit inconvenient. I haven’t touched the other services.
@@TopMusicAttorney thanks Krystle I will be in touch in due course! I just had an survey from Landr asking all its members their opinions on the Landr AI fair trade program - good to see they are reaching out to us - could be lip service but still better than many of these companies….
I was just looking at landr for distrubtion. I'm glad i found your video. I had liked what I was seeing. I realize you deal with all of these companies in one form or another but as a new vocalist , it's so confusing to figure out which one is the best option. Thank you for the expaination.
I think the ToS part about the cover art was saying that the art generations are theirs until you select one to use. This means if it gives you 3 images to choose from per generation, and you select one for cover art, the other 2 don't become yours as well, they just disappear into the electronic ether.
One thing that really bothers me is not allowing the artist to take the ISRC codes of the song if you decide to move to another distributor. very unsettling
thats not what they are saying my guy, they are saying you cant transfer the ISRC codes to another person, for example if you sell your song to someone, you cant transfer those codes to the person you sold your song to. My understanding is if you move to another distribution service, you can take the codes with you because you would still own the song and the registration of the song would be with the same info, like song name, artist name etc.
Great video; I really appreciate this! Thanks for the explanations and filtering the jargon into easy terms to understand! Out of curiosity, as a person who is pursuing sync in reference to the non-transferrable ISRC and UPC from Landr, does this mean that the song is forever ineligible for opportunities? Do I have to take the song down and register it with a third-party entity to get UPC and ISRCs that are transferable, etc.?
Thanks for clarifying this contract it is much appreciated. Question is, if you are unhappy about anyone using your works for AI training can we not simply opt out, 20% of what? Or is this condition folded into their distribution? I myself would say this is a dealbreaker. Thanks 😊
Please feel to reach out if you run into any trouble - Here’s our virtual business card; you can save our info directly into your contacts! smartcards.pro/RfSetG
It feels like the biggest decision in finding the right distribution platform! Your videos are very much narrowing my focus with the options available… at the end of the day I wish “direct to consumer” was the most efficient solution.
This is such a good video, thank you. Have you done a specific video regarding distribution for UK artists? I am unsure how the crossover between UK law and US law works, although I believe that here in the UK we have fairly good links between our professional music bodies and US professional music bodies.
Hey - they all have their pros and cons; please reach out and we can schedule a consultation so we can help you decide! ClientCare@DelgadoEntertainmentLaw.com.
Krystle thanks for covering All bases and your speaking rhythmn without annoying ums and aahs is a talent in its own right (the sign of a noB.S. well informed legal rep) The gavel cracks me up, and you are total proof of Beauty and Brains! Rock On!
Why the excitement about the Fair Trade AI Program terms…? It says “proportional to their data contribution in AI models that we host within our AI Tools in operation”, now what does that mean…? How big is your contribution to a given set? What is considered ‘data contribution’ when it comes to ‘training’ AI models? What models are or are not used in production? 🤷♂️
Hey Crystal, which one would you recommend I'm new to this I'm 61 years old so I've never done it but I've been writing in plain music all my life distro kid or Lander or someone else thank you. God bless you. You've been most helpful.
Glad you found this information helpful. Please feel free to reach out to my directly if you find yourself needing more music business education. krystle@topmusicattorney.com.
and it says UNLIMITED DISTRIBUTION, and ITS NOT !!!! I tried uploading my 3rd E.P. "Oops! You've reached our monthly fair usage limit. Please wait until next month to submit more releases. " Talk about that . .
anything that you did not originally produce yourself but got it from another source. It can be anything, including the harmony or melody of someone else's song.
I just stumbled upon a video comparing Distro kid vs Landr and I was leaning towards Landr… and then the next time I open TH-cam this comes up and I am subscribed to you lol so I’m checking this out… what is the best one lmao I need to know… I been looking at Tunecore, United masters, distro kid..
You know how most services have a catch to them? I observe the catch to landr is the iscr number scenario where they are not allowed to be transferred Is that good or bad? I am thinking of choosing Landr but that makes me a little insecure
I read your comment and hope you will reply, thanks. So I want to ask about the "Distribution Pro" package. It includes 5 artists in the package, so can I use the 5 artists directly when I buy the package and without additional costs?
Great video! I just want to know if a producer uses paid credits to obtain a melody loop, or drum loop from Landr or Splice, can a producer compose a track with said loop, then sell a license on other platforms like Beatstars ect.?
I'm not sure I am following regarding what you mentioned about mechanical license. About a year ago, I covered Nat King Cole's classic "Christmas Song," which was written by Mel Tormè. My distributor, CDbaby, charged something like 15 dollars for the mechanical license.
Thanks for the grest information.. I am new to your channel, just a quick question, in your own opinion, which one will you choose, distrokid or landr? Thanks
Hey thanks for the comment, please reach out to my legal assistant at admin@delgadoentertainmentlaw.com and we can set up a consultation to help you decide on which one you might like the best.
I was on the verge of getting the highest level account with Tunecore but when I watched and listened to you, I stopped. I was considering Landr but I’m not so sutr right now.
Hello, I’ve been following your content for a minute now, and I’ve found myself in need of some legal counsel! Recently I’ve decided to take my music career very seriously. After consistently marketing myself through social media over the last 6 months, I’ve generated over 250,000 Spotify streams. Expecting my first major payout from my distributor CD baby, to my disappointment my songs were removed from Spotifys platform. CD claims there were false streams and marketing malpractice but cannot provide any proof. From a legal and professional standpoint what steps would you advise I take to get paid my royalties and distribute my music moving forward? Please advise thanks!
@johnmcfadden4928 Hey thanks for reaching out - please feel free to contact me directly at krystle@topmusicattorney.com and we can discuss options to move forward.
Question: Out of all seriousness, Krystle which music distributor would you recommend? I am relaunching my music catalogue in 2025 and I have yet to decide. I have history with distrokid and tune core, I’ve yet to find a distributor that feels like “home”. Let me know!! Looking to get back on DSPs asap.
I agree, but compared to Distrokid you got more services at a lot cheaper price. Hope you get reaction from Landr. Btw I do not use samples. That's one problem I do not have to take care about. Big hugh
Landr customer support is very very poor. My track is still not approved for release and they are not responding to my repeated mails. Won't recommend Landr to anyone.
They all have pros and cons; please reach out if you need a consultation to discuss which might best serve you - ClientCare@DelgadoEntertainmentLaw.com!
Why landr can't just do their job and let us do what we want with our own product and output. This is pure idiocy. I don't see why the trend is to control or eve ndistribute past their original purpose.
You're great! I am from the UK but live in US and a musician. There is a big push in the UK right now to get this whole AI music business thing sorted out. Unlike the USA where musicians are just business, the UK govt kinda views music as of cultural significance. Consequently you will get $75 if you get a song played on a popular BBC radio show but absolutely diddly squat in America because....well culturally the musicians have always been ripped off in America. I am interested to see how this will go because I cannot see the laws being the same cross Atlantic, eg Duran Duran losing the legal case to get their American rights back in their dotage. How do you stop someone just firing up a VPN and using an American location to create the music? I reckon there needs to be a clearer definition on producer v musician with Wee Davie in the basement on AI being termed a producer because actually he is creating nothing. In other words, the AI company is actually the musician that gets musician rates and Wee Davie is just a producer getting producer rates, whatever they may be
Okay so this ai music thing is great as a tool to better production, but it’s shit as it is & most distributors won’t touch it even if you actually do own it all. I suggest instead of uploading ai songs, use them as a template & re create them without ai, use them as a reference and put your own voice and instruments, sounds & samples to it and do it almost exactly the same way but manually with a DAWS! Then when you’re done delete the ai version and roll with your own human version of it! That’s the way forward! The labels &distributors & publishers are terrified of ai music because of the evolving legal ramifications of it! Anyway cos I adore Ms.Krystle I thought I might help her followers find the best way to tackle it without upsetting those who are invested in real music eg the labels distributors & publishers. just use it as a reference to recreate the tracks in a traditional way. Did I mention? I’m High Mensa, I know! terrifying huh!!! I piss a lot of people off, but believe me they totally had it coming!!! 🙏🕊️✨✨🛸
This service is obviously NOT for professional musicians. It is for hobbyists. All their TOS wording is clear and consistent. It if for your personal use. It is not geared for reselling.
well. that toxic behaviour sucks. its easy: just boycott them. all that beatmaking…generic fast cheap and awesome junk background music. i dont like it. if you want to take a shortcut, they always come with dangers. you might as well invest some time. become a better musician. sample yourself. become a maker not a user. if you dont, maybe your in a hurry, lazy, too dumb, or have minority complex. theres a fix for all off the above. do it yourself, youl be a better musician independent of those convenient fancy easy bloodsucking digital leeches.
🆕️ Land Rover?! I don't care. I can't afford dinner for a lawyer that would hate me with a faster car. Ten years, reslly?! Do you really own your very first copy of Tomb Raider, do you?! I don't know. Namastè.
I don’t see how you do it day to day. It is infuriating and repetitive and always the same. They want camera and microphone access, mother’s maiden name and bra size.?!
Crazy I read this completely today before signing up and found so much more appreciation for them than I thought I would… No I’m not a lawyer, but I am an independent producer/artist and everything they said makes complete sense to use with no fear. I see how companies get blacklisted when they become a threat to the way things are moving … No disrespect or discredit to any thing you said out side of the fast talking to fill in the fact that there was nothing actually wrong. Word play is amazing lol reading the comments and people are eating it up! You’re probably the best lawyer ever 🫡😂

A video about the terms of "Too Lost" Distribution would be very interesting, as they seem to be a strong competition for Landr
Not as bad as I initially thought. After all, they all have terms that protects them. I’ll have to choose one of these services.
Just wanna tell this about the ISRC codes. It’s a reply from the support team:
”The codes cannot be transferred to another LANDR account, but they can be used to migrate releases to another distributor”

@JancKwok the 149 unlimited Mastering plan.. I just contacted them and they removed the limits
Please clarify what a sample is? A kick hit or a looped Melody or beat? Can't copyright drums.
anything that you did not originally produce yourself but got it from another source. It can be anything, including the harmony or melody of someone else's song.

I observe the catch to landr is the iscr number scenario where they are not allowed to be transferred
Is that good or bad?

I read your comment and hope you will reply, thanks. So I want to ask about the "Distribution Pro" package. It includes 5 artists in the package, so can I use the 5 artists directly when I buy the package and without additional costs?
Most enlightening, thank you. I am disinclined to deal with any of these boffins. Too many black marks.
Thanks for the support.
Has Lander responded yet? And, do you have a preference among these distribution companies. Maybe the best choice of an imperfect industry?
Great video! I just want to know if a producer uses paid credits to obtain a melody loop, or drum loop from Landr or Splice, can a producer compose a track with said loop, then sell a license on other platforms like Beatstars ect.?
a lot of samples on splice are ripped, so it is very dangerous to use them in songs.
I'm not sure I am following regarding what you mentioned about mechanical license. About a year ago, I covered Nat King Cole's classic "Christmas Song," which was written by Mel Tormè. My distributor, CDbaby, charged something like 15 dollars for the mechanical license.
I am just lost on re-releasing previously released songs as an album with another distributor. There is no clarity on that.

CD BABY IS ATROCIOUS TOO! They don’t NOT care nor respect artists like they pretend they do in public! CD Baby is 🤮
I left Landr to go to cd baby and found them both to be the same which is horrible.
Crazy I read this completely today before signing up and found so much more appreciation for them than I thought I would… No I’m not a lawyer, but I am an independent producer/artist and everything they said makes complete sense to use with no fear. I see how companies get blacklisted when they become a threat to the way things are moving … No disrespect or discredit to any thing you said out side of the fast talking to fill in the fact that there was nothing actually wrong. Word play is amazing lol reading the comments and people are eating it up! You’re probably the best lawyer ever 🫡😂
