I’m a little confused/concerned about the evolving music industry. My concern is regarding epidemic sound. This is more of a question from me since I haven’t fully understood their business model. I understand their basic model but how come youtubers buy instrumental tracks for their video content and then use it for song release on example Spotify. I’ve just noticed youtubers using instrumental tracks from epidemic sound to sing over. I understand how they can use it fine and legally for YouTube but how can they go about releasing it on Spotify? They bought license to distribute it on YouTube, Facebook and twitter but also Spotify?? They suddenly release a license bought instrumental for social platforms as independent artist taking full credit with only vocals added? I just don’t understand how.
