    Music and Presidential Campaigns

    It's presidential election season and music is back in the thick of it. In 2016 we spoke with Ben Sisario of the New York Times, Professor Chris Sprigman of NYU Law School and music industry lawyer Joel Schoenfeld about the historical and then current role of music in Presidential politics. In this episode, we revisit that episode and provide a 2024 update.

    Is bundling just a sneaky way to pay lower rates to songwriters?

    Spotify started offering limited audiobook listening late last year for no extra charge -- after the first price increase in the company's history went through for all US premium subscribers. What Spotify did was bundle their paid-for music subscriptions in the US with its nascent audiobook service in an attempt to lower the rates it pays to songwriters and music publishers. Spotify says it's entitled to bundle services in this way. In this episode, why former Spotify Global Head of Music Publishing Adam Parness sees it differently.

    Shira Perlmutter is the foremost expert on copyright in the country

    United States Copyright Office Register Shira Perlmutter oversees a team of 500 people and advises the U.S. Congress and the executive branch on copyright policy. By definition her office is the foremost expert on copyright in the country. But she is the foremost expert, as a person, on copyright in the country. If you're excited or terrified by how music policy is being made around AI -- especially deepfakes and digital likeness -- you won't want to miss this wide-ranging public conversation with Register Perlmutter and NMPA President David Israelite. Special thanks to peermusic.
