As society and technology change, governments must create new guidelines and laws for the safety and security of their nations and citizens. With the proliferation of the internet in the 90s and early 2000s, almost everyone gained the ability to share files across the globe instantaneously. Entire catalogues of music, film, and visual art suddenly became free to anyone who wanted them. Governments had to scramble to put systems in place to ensure that artists could maintain ownership of their intellectual property and continue to make a living. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is one of the few things artists can depend on to provide these protections and it has been very valuable. But no one quite predicted just how fast things would continue to change. Now with the introduction of advanced AI and various streaming platforms, intellectual property is more at risk than ever. In this episode, Melody and Dustin discuss the past, present, and future of copyright protections in the music industry.
