Global Deals: Kakao Entertainment and Atlantic Music Group formed a partnership to develop K-pop artists from early stages. Fraud and Rights: A US musician received an 18-month sentence for an $8 million AI-driven streaming fraud as the Copyright Office opened an inquiry into streaming manipulation.
