So if you release something for free on a non-profitable service then you can sample anything even if you are a big artist?

There’s a grey area about how you use the sample but if the artists being sampled/their label wanna be d***s about it then you can be sued

Yes but there isn't such option for spotify. I personally think a "mixtape zone" or mixtape option for spotify would be a huge reason to pay for that service instead of the other ones namean

Spotify couldn't make money off it directly but they would get more listeners tbh

Ye doing something cool for the fans by releasing hard to find older music of his? i doubt it

cmon ye pay em off

they couldnt run ads or make any money on those mixtapes tho.

But they will get more customers

it prob wont be worth the cost of dat s*** tho

As a kanye stan:
Do I get streaming service A without the GOOD Friday compilation or do I get streaming service B with the compilation?

As a Drake stan:
Do I pay for service A without drake's s***ty tapes or the one with the s***ty tapes ?

Yep, and then in court the lawyers could forcefully have the company disclose and use streaming data of all the subscribers playing those specific songs as evidence that those users paid the company for that content in particular.

those songs would stay adfree even for non premium users so it wouldn't be a problem. It would be like you can combine the datpiff app to your spotify app

Christian Dior Denim Flow leaves me in awe

Its not about ads not playing over those songs its about bringing people to YOUR PLATFORM to listen to those songs. It brings customers through your doors with something you have no rights to use.
