Summary
In the latest episode of the Breve Music Podcast, host Jermaine Harris discusses a lawsuit involving Johnson and Johnson and Associated Production Music, a collaboration between Sony Music and Universal Music. The lawsuit stems from Johnson and Johnson using unlicensed music in approximately 80 videos shared on Facebook and YouTube. Harris expresses surprise that such a large corporation would neglect to secure proper licenses, suggesting they might prefer to pay fines rather than go through the licensing process. He notes that the potential fines could reach nearly $12 million, which is significantly more than the cost of obtaining licenses. Additionally, he raises questions about the distribution of any fines, pondering whether artists would see any compensation or if the money would solely benefit Associated Production Music.
