Major distributors like DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and Too Lost are already involved, and the industry is shifting in ways that could leave independent musicians at a serious disadvantage.
And Spotify isn’t the only one—other platforms are now following suit. With the introduction of a Deluxe Premium tier and direct deals being struck with major labels, royalties are being diluted, and the traditional streaming model is evolving in ways that may not favor creators. Are artists losing control of their music without even realizing it?

#PROInvestigation #LawyerReacts #CongressPROIn this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a major development in the fight for transparency and oversight in the music industry. With Congress urging the Copyright Office to examine performance rights organizations (PROs) and licensing practices, this could be a game-changer for artists and songwriters. The multi-billion dollar business of music royalties has long been controlled by unregulated middlemen, and now lawmakers are stepping in to investigate potential gaps, unfair contracts, and missing payments. Miss Krystle breaks down what this means for creators and how this moment could reshape the way artists get paid.
From the major PROs like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC to newer players like GMR, Pro Music Rights, and AllTrack, the industry is shifting. With a federal inquiry now underway, there's an opportunity for musicians to have their voices heard and push for fairer royalty distribution. Miss Krystle unpacks the latest developments, the role of consent decrees, and what steps artists should take next. This is an important conversation for anyone earning royalties from their music—be sure to watch and share with a fellow creator.

#DearMusicDistributors #OpenLetter #RiseUpIn this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle addresses music distributors directly. The industry has operated without oversight for too long, and the cracks are starting to show. With contracts that allow distributors to withhold royalties at will, independent artists are left powerless. This isn’t just business as usual—it’s a system built to benefit the few at the expense of the many.
Miss Krystle’s open letter is a warning. The excuses of “industry standard” won’t hold up forever, and change is coming one way or another. The question is, will distributors fix the problem before it’s too late?
