AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

AI & Copyright Fight: The Dutch Council for Culture is pushing a legal “content levy” on generative AI providers so creators get paid, with funds routed via collecting societies and a government monitor tracking training data. Streaming Money vs Artist Reality: Spotify says it paid a record $11B+ in royalties in 2025 and highlights rising top earners, but the debate stays focused on whether streaming can truly support sustainable careers. Rights Protection for Indies: India’s SwaLay Digital is pitching an all-in-one distribution + rights system, including audio fingerprinting and built-in copyright registration inside its platform. New Releases & Deals: Reservoir signs singer-songwriter Jarrett Doherty to his first publishing deal; Canadian artist Roger Foley releases “Limitless With Limitations” to help fund his return home after 10 years in hospital. Tour & Band Updates: The Strokes reassure fans Nick Valensi will return “soon,” while Bob Dylan’s guitarist roster keeps shifting with Joel Paterson joining onstage. Live Music Culture: UK venue Lancaster Music Co-op faces a “kick in the teeth” vandal attack as it nears reopening. Pop Star Drama: Lizzo addresses a “soul-crushing” comeback after reports of weak early streaming and sales.
