In a music industry obsessed with viral songs, execs are buying the beats behind fast-moving hits — sometimes without singers' knowledge. Some see this approach as shrewd and necessary, but others say murky ethics can turn a breakthrough into 'a nightmare'

After several days of failed negotiations, Hearn messaged Goldman. “Everytime I look at [the song] I think of you,” the singer wrote. “Someone who took the rights to a song that meant everything to me and my friend.” Nearly two weeks after first talking to Goldman, Hearn posted a. “I won’t say names, but this guy completely took advantage of me and the song,” the singer alleged in the somber clip.

Goldman likens the debates around the ethics of buyouts to conversations about the morality of other music-industry practices, like long-term record deals. “I believe [beat buyouts] are unethical when you’re not trying to work with the artist and you’re holding someone hostage,” Goldman continues. “I didn’t do that stuff.”

Lawyers say these agreements are less comprehensive than the ironclad producer contracts favored by major labels. In the vast majority of cases, songs that start on BeatStars don’t become commercially successful, so artists and producers are probably unaware of the contracts’ imperfections.

I'm 1/2 way thru the article and I already despise this Goldman guy. He tries to act benign but he's so shady. He knows wat he's doing smfh. Just b/c something is legal doesn't make it ethical. These are the kind of guys I completely avoid in this industry lol. Wat a schmuck.

Produce your own beats , avoid this
