  • This Is What You're ACTUALLY "Opting In" To... And It's Horrifying
    Jan 8 2025

    In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses a horrifying trend affecting creators, business owners, and anyone using digital platforms. YouTube, music platforms, and video services are now asking users to opt in and allow third-party companies to use their content to train AI models. This isn’t a distant issue—it's happening right now, and it has serious implications for intellectual property rights, compensation, and privacy. Miss Krystle breaks down what opting in means for creators and why you should think twice before agreeing to these terms. From vague promises of future payments to the unsettling reality of AI replicating human-created media, the potential consequences are far-reaching.

    Miss Krystle also dives into examples from platforms like YouTube and TuneCore, highlighting how your content—videos, music, even photos—could be used without proper compensation. Whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or casual app user, this issue touches everyone. Companies claim to offer benefits like AI-powered copyright detection but fail to address how they’ll truly protect your rights or fairly compensate you.
