Ignorance Isn't Bliss For Musicians![120825]
from TAXI TV · host TAXI Independent A&R
There are so many ways to get paid for your work in the age of digital music that I admit I’m confused as to who exactly pays what. One thing I do know is that the people who attended the presentation by the MLC (Mechanical Licensing Collective) at this year’s TAXI Road Rally were SO glad they went! They were so grateful that I’ve invited one of the MLC’s executives (Dae Bogan, Head of Third-Party Partnerships) to join us on this week’s TAXI TV. He’s great at explaining why you really could have money just sitting there waiting for you, and what you can do to collect it! I know… the cynic in me used to think that sounds too good to be true, but not since I did my homework and found out that it’s completely true! It would be really sad to miss out on collecting money your music has already earned for you just because you didn’t know how easy it is to collect it. In this case, ignorance is not bliss! Join Dae and me for this "Do Not Miss" episode! He's really smart, highly informed, and has some very interesting thoughts on how musicians might get compensated in the AI era of music. I think those ideas and concepts might be outside of what we can learn about how the MLC works during the show, but they're so intriguing, I'm going to press him to talk about them, anyway!
