Lewis Black asks for his comedy to be removed from Spotify as joke copyright dispute continues [Complete Music Update]

“I in no way represent all of the comedians on Spotify, but I do believe that all of them should be paid for the writing that they have done and not just for the performance of what they wrote”, the comedian said in a statement. “It has taken a long time for comedy to be recognised as an artform. Therefore, Spotify should recognise that a joke is as powerful as a lyric of a song, which they do pay for”.
“Many comics have recently been taken off Spotify for no reason at all and it truly hurts their exposure and income”, he added. “Since I haven’t been taken off, I would like to be, as it is wrong that I am on the platform and so many aren’t. I need neither the money nor the exposure, but please put all of the comedians back on your platform and let’s sit down and find a way to pay us what we are owed for the words that make you laugh. Yes, a joke is intellectual property”. -Lewis Black

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 424 & BENKYO RADIO 424.

I wanted to address Playstation Fans like myself who are sad that they won’t receive a PS5 for Christmas. It’s okay. There are plenty of good games for PS4. Let’s be honest, did you finish all your games? Probably not. So get to it, and maybe hopefully we can find a PS5 in 2022, preferably before GT7 comes out.

Until Next Time!
