The Negotiation

JoAnn Squillace and Stephen Drummond join WMV to talk about a list of reggaeton songs that have been brought into evidence to support the ongoing copyright infringement case against several latin artists, producers, publishing companies and record labels filed by Dancehall producer pioneers Steely and Clevie.   Since this conversation over 1000 new songs were added to the lawsuit. The tracks which are alleged to have infringed upon the 80s dancehall riddim “Fish Market” produced by the duo are presented into evidence on the basis that they sample copies of the composition or simply copied the composition without permission. Reggaeton King Daddy Yankee alone is accused of copying the Fish Market composition on over 43 songs including his 41x Latin Platinum hit Con Calma with Snow which interpolates Snow’s dancehall hit Informa. Brazilian singer Annita, who was just released from Warner Music after she ranted on social media about wanting to leave the label has 14 songs on the evidence list named Exhibit A. So far 107 summonses have been served to defendants this year alone as the trial is set to get under way but in a motion filed on Friday attorneys Jean G. Vidal-Font and Bradley J. Mullins who are reprenting latin superstar Juan Luis Morera Luna p/k/a Wisin and Drake real name Aubrey Graham, applied to dismiss requests for the artists to come to court to answer to the infringements on the grounds that they were not served at their right addresses. Bad Bunny and Drake‘s MÍA which has 1.4 billion YouTube views has been named as one of the songs that copied the Fish Market riddim.

Reggaeton Vs Reggae With JR Watkis,JoAnn Squillace and Stephen Drummond

We started off our show with Stephen with an interesting discussion about working in China and adapting to the internet environment there which, as many of you know, can be difficult and slow at times. As Stephen points out, however, the number of digital platforms and services to make your life easier typically far outweigh and disadvantages from a more monitored and thus slow internet environment.Stephen then talks about his work at Campaign Coach China where he trains CEOs and CMOs on how to build brand and creative strategies. He points to the complexity in the market these days that is driving a need for a reboot of the timeless strategic planning tools and concepts in order to move past using the “borrowed interest” of celebrities and other influencers.We then discuss the tremendous ‘closing of the cache gap’ between foreign and local Chinese brands (except at the very top). Foreign brands shouldn’t rely on a lift by being foreign because in most product verticals the playing field has leveled. We end the show talking about what the next 5 years might hold for brands and Stephen’s take is that the struggle ahead will be brand building in the eCommerce age. It’s crowded, and the opportunities to show customers the ‘face’ of the brand are few and far between. That was one of the luxuries of offline and retail; you were able to really show off your personality and give an experience, but that is rapidly fading away.
