Dear Music Distributors... Mix Flix 2 Views • 22 days ago

#dearmusicdistributors #openletter #riseup in this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle addresses music distributors directly. The industry has operated without oversight for too long, and the cracks are starting to show. With contracts that allow distributors to withhold royalties at will, independent artists are left powerless. This isn’t just business as usual—it’s a system built to benefit the few at the expense of the many.

Miss Krystle’s open letter is a warning. The excuses of “industry standard” won’t hold up forever, and change is coming one way or another. The question is, will distributors fix the problem before it’s too late?
