Just finished the video and its pretty shocking how effective his scheme was. Music is already a confusing place when it comes to licensing and many musicians can't afford lawyers to look over every single thing. I feel bad for everyone who was scammed here

Wow, basically this Ian guy asked thousands of musicians to be their publisher through his wife's secret llc in exchange for massive promotion, acting like it was a small project with a lot of corporate interest. He and his wife took almost all the money those musicians made, and did no promotion.
