"This could get so much worse..." W/ Guest Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop)

In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle,  and Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop) break down the sudden termination of Shira Perlmutter, former head of the U.S. Copyright Office, just days after releasing a major report on AI and copyright law. The timing raises serious questions about political influence, tech industry lobbying, and the future of copyright enforcement. They explore what the report really said, why AI companies like Suno and Udio are under fire, and how artists may be left vulnerable in the wake of rapid technological change.

The conversation expands into how current policy decisions—and potentially retaliatory firings—could reshape the music industry and creative rights as a whole. From copyright litigation strategies to the ethics of AI-generated music.
