UNLIMITED SUPPLY with Digital Music News

We ran into some technical issues today. No worries, still lots to cover, though Finance Friday may drop Saturday this week.

Howie Singer delves into the contentious Opt-in Pivot of OpenAI's Sora 2, arguing it disrupts copyright norms. The recent Supreme Court ruling against Live Nation’s arbitration tactics also tops the discussion, revealing challenges in ticketing practices. Fans of the Kingston Trio will be intrigued by their legal battles over mishaps at the Greek Theater. Plus, the cancellation of the Cabo Yacht Rock festival adds a layer of drama to live events, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the music industry.

OpenAI's Sora 2 is making waves with its shift to an unclear opt-in model, raising industry eyebrows. TikTok enhances creator payouts, while Threads tests disappearing posts, challenging Snapchat's model. YouTube introduces AI features to help creators with promotional materials. Zach Bryan sparks controversy with a viral song critiquing ICE, drawing MAGA backlash. Meanwhile, Princess Superstar shows that older artists are thriving in the viral scene, proving that age is just a number in today’s music landscape!
