The article says that Meta claims they got the rights through some third party firm that, his publisher claims had no right to authorize the distribution of their music. If that turns out to be the case, I wonder how many of the other artists that you can choose when you want to make a Reel or whatever also would fall under this same circumstance?

$3.50 a pop.
