    What a dumpster fire this issue is.

    Gotta love the law. Use 1 second, get sued for two kinds of royalties. But, redo an entire song, good to go!

    I feel there&apos;s a good number of sections missing:<br>1. Translations. Japanese music especially has a lot of people covering the music in english and getting sued left and right by japanese companies due to the local copyright being extremely rough. <br>2. is dsps charging for mechanical licenses i.e. distrokid and soundrop still required?<br>3. since distrokid gets licenses from HFA, could you get it directly and not from distrokid? What&apos;s the logistics of that? And if you don&apos;t need it or can get it from other places with less friction in UX. What does that look like?

    I&apos;m a new DJ and I&apos;m so glad I found this channel. Admittedly though, I&apos;m scared to death to try and make music. &nbsp;Time to delve through the archives before I post anything. Thanks!

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
