In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a $64 billion bid involving UMG that could quietly reshape the balance of power in the music industry. As major players position themselves behind the scenes, the question becomes what happens when Universal Music potentially ends up in new hands and what that means for control at the highest level.

With UMG already sitting at the center of catalog ownership, lawsuits, and artist infrastructure, this moment could signal a much larger shift. From valuation spikes to more aggressive enforcement, the outcome of this deal may redefine how music is owned, protected, and monetized moving forward.
