BTB Ep 136: Copyright court for indie artists?; Bobby Owsinski talks Spotify's direct licensing

Hi Podcast Listeners! The Podcast now has its own Twitter account! Visit us @thebtbpodcast. This week, Ryan talks about the CASE Act, a bill currently going through Congress that would create a special court for small claims copyright disputes. Could this law create a means for indie artists to get justice when their works are stolen, or is it promising more than it can deliver? Ryan also sits down with Bobby Owsinski to talk about Bobby's recent article in Forbes about Spotify doing direct licensing deals with indie artists. Bobby has some great insight about what Spotify's move means for the current balance of power in the music industry between Spotify, labels, and independent musicpreneurs.
