Irving Azoff and MAC Demand Fair Play in UMG-Udio Deal

Irving Azoff and the Music Artists Coalition (MAC) are raising eyebrows over the new UMG-Udio deal. They’re cautiously optimistic but ready to play hardball.

The agreement aims to shake up the industry, but Azoff insists it better not come at the expense of musicians. After all, they’re the ones creating the hits.

MAC is demanding transparency. They want to know how this deal will impact artists’ rights and compensation. "We’re insistent on details," said a MAC spokesperson.

With the landscape shifting, artists are watching closely. They hope this deal doesn’t just add another layer of complexity to an already tangled web.
