I don't know much about Rick Beato other than what I've seen from his videos. His channel is mostly about teaching music in a way people can enjoy and learn from. To teach, Rick would often use clips from songs he'd love which would inevitably lead to his videos getting blocked or getting strikes. So eventually, Rick started posting about how copyright laws and enforcement is ludicrous, because channels like his actually sell the music, young people learn about music from outside their experience, search it out, making more money. Makes sense, right? but that's not how the music industry thinks, they just want to exert punitive control, when they could be profitting.
Eventually, Rick was invited to DC to testify on his opinion on the subject. Fast Forward, he started getting some of his videos unblocked, not only that but iconic musicians took note of him, his expertise in music, so suddenly, they'd start agreeing to be interviewed by him, because of his knowledge and passion for the art of music and artists.... His channel has really blown up.
Anyways, probably one of the best and most interesting channels about music on Youtube right now....check out the depth and interest in this new interview w/ THE Sting. Look how invested Sting is in the conversation....
