AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Publishing: Ozuna signed a worldwide publishing-administration deal with EMPIRE for future work, adding to the label’s growing Latin roster. Copyright: ASCAP filed 11 lawsuits against businesses accused of using members’ music without permission. The U.S. Supreme Court also left intact a ruling on songwriters’ rights to reclaim copyrights. Streaming and AI: Spotify launched a native in-car app in select Audi models and says it removed 70 million spammy tracks amid a surge in AI-generated music. Major labels are also seeking data from distributors in their legal fight over AI music training. Live music: Philadelphia’s World Stage venue is closing, citing challenges facing independent venues. Meanwhile, venue operator VENU secured $60 million through a sale-leaseback to support its McKinney amphitheater. Competition: UK MPs renewed calls for a watchdog investigation into Live Nation’s market power.
