In this lawyer reacts episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle breaks down Spotify and Universal’s new multi-year licensing deal and what it means for the future of streaming 2.0. While it's being called a major innovation, the real question is who benefits the most—artists or the industry’s biggest players? With changes to royalty structures and new business strategies in play, independent artists may be facing new challenges in an already competitive landscape.


Miss Krystle takes a closer look at the UMG vision for the future, including shifts in monetization and direct-to-fan strategies. With streaming payouts and platform priorities constantly evolving, what does this deal really signal for creators? And with ongoing concerns about industry influence and fairness, is this a step forward or just another power move?
