The @Agsunta and @decemberave issue sets a precedent for future intellectual property concerns. I don’t take sides on this matter and I have very little knowledge of the full story. But I believe they are both victims of the ever changing landscape of the music industry.

When Agsunta started, they have a novel goal of promoting OPM. They even covered one of my songs from O&L. They sure did a great job. The problem is, the initial goal of being an OPM cover band crossed a fine line when they decided to use their brand for commercial purposes.

Worse if it is monetised. I do believe the best way to resolve this is not social media. Artist to artist, publisher to label. A legal notice perhaps. If it is indeed monetised, a simple take down or settle with a licensing agreement w/o involving fans who are clueless of such.

I’m not a technical guitarist. Don’t even know how to play scales. I’d do a poor job catching up in an impromptu jam session. But what I can do is imagine the riffs and solos for an original song, locating the notes I melodically hum. I like doing dyads, triads and arpeggios.

As a major brand, you now have a moral responsibility to adhere to industry practices. You are no longer just cover band but a professional artist. Especially if there is a huge following. Agsunta is caught in between this transition.

When YouTube decided to monetise “original” content, herein lies the problem. If you are a commercial brand (artists included) using another brand to monetise content, that is indeed questionable. Agsunta became a “major brand” the moment they signed with ABS-CBN.

I started out as a Beatles cover band in high school and progressed to a New Wave cover band before injecting original songs little by little during sets. It’s essential for any band to develop their sound and style through their influences. It is a normal part of the process.
