In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the copyright crisis with the unexpected firing of U.S. Copyright Office Director Shira Perlmutter by President Donald Trump—just one day after the release of a major government report on artificial intelligence and copyright. The timing has raised alarms across the creative and legal communities, especially as this report could shape the future of how AI companies use copyrighted material.


We dive into the implications of the Copyright Office’s findings, how AI platforms are defending unauthorized data scraping under fair use, and why this sudden shake-up matters for artists, musicians, and creators. As copyright law collides with AI innovation, this moment could redefine ownership and creative rights in the digital age.
