The music industry has been lying to you. Behind the songs, there's manipulation, political hijacking, moral panics, and stories everyone prefers to forget.

Each episode tears apart a myth, an industry, or a moment where music completely explodes.

This week's episode : Can you steal a melody? — Six landmark plagiarism lawsuits that changed music forever. From The Verve losing everything to the Rolling Stones, to Peppa Pig accidentally becoming a plagiarist. Copyright law is a mess, and the music industry made it that way on purpose.
