The Digital Millennium Copyright Act has long been associated with record-industry greed, but a new Rolling Stone investigation explores the ways this convoluted law has come to benefit tech giants while musicians and songwriters struggle to scrape by.⁠ ⁠ In 2021 the digital copyright battle is less about individual piracy than the way music exists on some of the biggest sites in the world, like YouTube and Twitch, which remain protected from infringement liability thanks to the DMCA. Artists and rights holders — especially smaller, independent ones — compare tracking and monetizing infringing content to playing Whac-a-Mole. Advocates argue the DMCA's liability protections give sites like YouTube greater leverage in negotiating licensing fees.⁠ ⁠ "There used to be five financial pillars to the music industry," says American Association of Independent Music CEO Richard James Burgess. "We've almost thrown the recording pillar away and said, 'That's just promotional for merchandise, endorsements, publishing, touring.'"⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more. ⁠ ⁠ Illustration by Alexander Wells for Rolling Stone

The ‘Pharma Bro’ Wu-Tang album seized by the U.S. government was bought for $4 million in July. The owners chose to remain anonymous. Until now.⁠ ⁠ Jamis Johnson, the “Chief Pleasing Officer” for PleasrDAO, a collective that buys digital collectibles, tells us why he wants to bring the one-of-a-kind album “back to the people.” "Wu-Tang’s attempt to say fuck these middle men for taking all the money that should be going to the artists … perfectly aligns with the ethos of crypto,” he tells us.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more. ⁠ ⁠ Photo by @grifflotz
