Podcast host MacG has broken down the music rights dispute involving DJ Maphorisa and Samthing Soweto on the latest episode of “Podcast and Chill”, surprisingly, coming to the defence of ‘Phori’.
, real name Macgyver Mukhwevho, who makes and produces music himself, gave viewers an explanation on the complex relationship between mastering and publishing rights in the latest episode of his Podcast and Chill With Mac G show.MacG explained: “Publishing is what you get when people stream your song, like on iTunes, or when it plays on the radio. But the person who owns the master owns the song.”
“In this situation, Samthing Soweto was wrong because when you own a master it is like a partnership,” MacG explained. “There are videos and PR, all of those accumulates to an amount. So, if you are not contributing to that amount, you can’t just own the master.” “That means every time we gets stream, everyone gets a percentage. But we don’t own the song, the person who owns the master owns the song”.The YouTuber says to him it sounded like Samthing Soweto wanted the whole pie but he couldn't get it cause he's just a feature.“The deal between a record label and an artist is exploitative. It does not make it right, but it is exploitative,” Phenduka said.
“A producer or songwriter always falls within the copyright part of things, meaning intellectual property is still attached,” he said.
