Rasty Turek

Rasty Turek, founder and CEO of Pex, discusses the issue of manipulated tracks on audio streaming services, with over a million tracks not properly attributed to their original artists. These tracks are infringing copyright and pulling royalties away from the rightful artists. Examples include modified versions of popular songs like Halsey's 'Without Me' and Coldplay/The Chainsmokers' 'Something Just Like This'. The podcast explores the impact of this problem and discusses potential solutions to address streaming fraud.
