De La Soul's Rights Victory
- De La Soul fought hard and succeeded in regaining the rights to their music after a long legal battle with Tommy Boy Records.
- The hip-hop community supported their win, leading to a surge in album sales and renewed relevance.
Sample Clearance Challenges
- Clearing samples for re-releases required nearly a year of negotiations and cooperation with publishers and artists.
- Support from hip-hop figures like Jay-Z helped prevent premature streaming and set a respectful industry standard.
Digital Rights and AI Challenges
- Many artists unknowingly signed over digital and AI rights without full understanding, affecting control in the digital age.
- The current deal structures rarely account fairly for new technology and perpetuity clauses.
