Nick Di Paolo accuses Pandora of not obtaining the necessary licenses to use his routines on its platform for non-interactive and interactive streaming.
Music contains two copyrights that streaming services must license in order to use the work on its platform: a copyright for the sound recording and a copyright for the underlying composition. In recent years, proponents argue spoken word comedy has two copyrights as well: one for the recording and one for the underlying “literary work” . However, no streaming service has ever secured licenses for both.
Now, a number of comedians have aligned with two new entities — Spoken Giants and Word Collections — which were created to act like spoken word’s version of ASCAP and BMI, collecting and licensing the performances of spoken word comedy. Word Collections, founded by Jeff Price, represents Di Paolo.
The lawsuit acts as a next step in an already contentious battle between streaming services and “literary works” copyright holders and their collection societies.from major comics like Mike Birbiglia, John Mulaney, and Jeff Foxworthy amid a dispute with Spoken Giants.
