For theat record, I am not a fan of mixes being protected to the point at which routine videos are being muted. It's too much. And I agree that it only makes sense to pay them for the service of mixing.I'm kinda confused by this don't the music producers already get paid by the team/gym when they make the mix for the season.
Why are they so concerned with what happens after that.
But I'm tying to figure out where mixers are coming from. Think of it like this (just trying to play Devil's advocate): when an artist puts out a single, they are paid royalties every time the song is used by another artist (e.g. as a sample or in a commercial). Or when you upload a video to YouTube and monetize it, say you have a music video playing in the background. Or just music. I mean in your proximity, e.g. you are driving and have the radio on, as opposed to having added the music in post-production. A record label possesing rights to that material can file a copyright claim against the user (greedy, IMO).
Trying my best to defend that point and I really can't. And it strikes me as hypocritical that they want to get protective now but didn't mind not tossing artists or record labels (like Sony, who sued some of them) any compensation for profiting from their work.
