    I know absolutely nothing about TikTok, but as someone who has been alive since vinyl records were the standard vehicle for music, I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Universal are the bad guys here. Record companies are the scum of the earth, absolute garbage human beings.

      I’m more inclined to believe both parties are the bad guys here. The only good guys are the musicians stuck in the middle.

        When has the music industry done literally anything that benefited artists or consumers?
