Have any musicians here been through a copyright lawsuit? I had to go through one with a label when I was just starting out. It drained my spirit in every way. Ended up having to sell my rights in the end anyways. The lawyer I was working with was generous and didn’t charge me as a “welcome to the industry” lesson. Had he done so, I would have been in debt. It’s my belief that the current copyright/IP law is meant to serve major artists and labels with the resources.

I reactivated Instagram to share the news about the Spotify backup and engage with my musical peers about what comes next. This has become the most shared post I’ve had in my 20 years using META. This is our time.

Regarding the recent Spotify backup: There’s lots of relevant discussion happening on this Hacker News thread, yet no mention of what’s happening here from what I’ve read. I haven’t chimed in yet. If any Nostriches want to engage I think it could be insightful. Could be a good time to introduce some folks to @Stacker News in the process.

Throwing out a cool gift idea for anyone who is interested in, or has kids wanting to learn electric guitar/bass. I’m fortunately passed the musical gear accumulation phase in life, but this tool has been the most useful device. The “Fender Mustang Micro Plus.” $130. It’s got amp modelers, effects and a headphone jack. The ability to synch with a phone via bluetooth and practice along to songs is a game changer. Can also be used as an interface to record via USB. When performing solo I’ll often just show up with this alone and plug directly into a PA. It’s laughable to think how handy this thing would have been over the years. So many makeshift setups in weird places. Now I’m able to rehearse anywhere and away from a computer screen. 🤙 slap on
