In this episode of Pay the Creators, we go behind the scenes of one of the most significant legal victories for independent producers. Tuomo and Tommi of BigBadBeats reveal how their viral hit "Tauba Tauba" turned into a complex legal challenge. And how BeatStars and the Creator Rights Agency (CRA) stepped in to secure almost $500,000 in missing royalties. This isn't just a success story; it’s a masterclass in why creator rights matter.  FOLLOW BIGBADBEATS ON SOCIAL: BigBadBeats Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bigbadbeats/ BigBadBeats's BeatStars Page:⁠ https://www.beatstars.com/bigbadbeats FOLLOW ABE BATSHON (CEO OF BEATSTARS) ON SOCIAL: Abe's Instagram:⁠   Abe's BeatStars Page:⁠ https://www.beatstars.com/abebatshon FOLLOW BEATSTARS: https://www.instagram.com/beatstars/ https://www.instagram.com/beatstarspublishing/ https://www.instagram.com/paythecreators/ https://www.instagram.com/beatstarsacademy/ Join the BeatStars community of over 10 million creatives: https://www.beatstars.com Make sure you’re getting paid what you’re owed.

    Join the BeatStars community of over 10 million creatives: https://www.beatstars.com | https://www.beatstars.com/publishing | https://www.beatstars.com/creator-rights-agency Get Dakota Parker Beats: https://bit.ly/4aj6ODR In this episode of Pay the Creators, Dakota breaks down his unconventional rise as a true “BeatStars young gunner.” He shares how stepping away from the social media grind allowed him to focus on what matters most: creating, optimizing, and scaling his catalog. Dakota’s turning point came when BeatStars Publishing and the Creator Rights Agency helped him recover more than $48,000 in sound recording royalties from a ripped beat that surpassed 100M+ streams. Instead of cashing out, he reinvested every dollar back into BeatStars Promote—transforming his annual earnings from $5K–$10K into a six-figure business. If you’re looking for a blueprint to build a sustainable producer career without relying on clout, algorithms, or virality—this episode is for you.
