It is great time in some respects, but its probably never been so difficult for new bands etc to break through, it’s over-saturated, there is an unbelievable amount of competition, when you look at some of the lame artists and bands that managed to chart their songs back in the day and compare it to new emerging artists today, it’s shocking really.
There is a lot of music theft, plagiarism and copyright infringement going on all the time. I think that needs acknowledging and addressing. Just saying oh, it’s okay cos at least we are making a bit of money is not good enough. I’m owed thousands from someone using my music without my permission for the trailer and within the film. Still trying to sort it out.
I don’t take kindly to people ripping me off personally.
