they can’t just put those songs up though, in theory producers could easily sue them if they put up songs without clearing them
The songs wouldn’t be released to the public so I don’t see the producers having a case but if they did that’ll be a sure fire way of getting blackballed

how is this "not being released to the public"?

It’s behind a paywall exclusive to subscribers only

right so how is that different than putting a song on apple music without clearing it
Paying for music that an artist already deemed not valuable enough to be released ? Yeah I'm out.
Some of my favorite s*** is leaked stuff “an artist already deemed not valuable enough to be released”
This is a way for artist to get compensation for music someone else STOLE

why don't artists just put those songs on streaming then? there's obviously more to it
i did have to reread that part lol like huh
Usually with these kind of things it's easy to suspect how things are going to unfold but artists stay quiet about it, James Blake just said f*** it Imma lay out the whole game plan from the jump
You don't gotta subscribe, but b****ing about $5 a month is insane
Yeah you're either really dense or pretending to be. Either way you have fun paying $5 monthly for every artists you like to fund those artists high end lifestyle.
So what’s your solution genius?
Every artist you listen to aint drake rich lol
The only artist vocal about this s*** are the richest ones (Kanye, James Blake...)
I buy albums too, matter of facts I recently bought Claire Rousay's album on her bandcamp (and I encourage everyone THAT CAN AFFORD IT to do it) but you're not only thinking from an american pov (go and ask someone let's say from Argentina how much $5 is worth to him) but you also barely seem to understand how life can be tough for a lot of people. Now you go tell the mother that already has 2 jobs that her kids aren't going to be able to afford to listen to music in the near future because of s*** like this.
Stop thinking about YOU (in a very narcissistic way let me say) and think about the huge amount of people that would be excluded of s*** like this.
U are thinking about YOUrself as well y’know that right?

This ain't my problem I don't got to look for solutions cowboy

Yeah indeed I'm the one who's going to receive your hard earned money that allows you to listen to unfinished demos
I wonder how much success a label could have if they moved all their artists on their own platform that cost more, kinda like hbo max sort of thing
Their artists would lose a ton of streams but would the extra costs make up for it
People aren’t going to subscribe monthly for one artist, I wonder if they would for a few whole bunch of artists
I’m sure labels have considered this, done the math, and found it’s not worth it
i don't get this. niggas will leak this in like two seconds. bout to be done worse than the onlyfans hoes.

unless they do like tyler and say they will sue whoever puts the s*** up.
S**
This being the last comment on this thread is SENDING ME. Great idea Mr. Blake and as you can see a great reception and understanding of the whole thing.
True i’d rather it go to something like this if the artist can profit off of it directly. Label issues has to be throwing a wrench in it tho for many.
is subscribing for unreleased music legally different from selling it? in regards to the artist's contract
I guess I was hoping for something other than Patreon when Blake said he found a solution to the current working of the industry
It's a really complicated subject. I respect when an artist don't want to put out certain material cause it's too personal or it doesn't represent his artistic vision or simple it's trash.
At the same time, there are plenty of them who are simple perfectionist and they cut EPIC s*** from their commercial projects just cause the theme didn't fit or stuff like that.
So I support something like this so the ones who are willing to share with us, they can do it in a pirateless way lol
