Bieber’s Coachella Set Leans on YouTube Clips, Not Catalog Ownership
At Coachella, Bieber performed snippets of his older songs via YouTube clips on stage, but claims that selling his music catalog blocks him from performing those songs are incorrect. Experts say public-performance rights licensed by PROs cover live shows, and there’s no restriction in his deal with Recognition Music Group. The catalog sale shifts publishing and master rights, not live-performance rights, and could even boost streams of the original tracks.
