Hi, this is Peter Case. You're listening to the Your Morning Coffee Podcast with my friends Jay Gilbert and Mike Etchart. Weekly music news for the new music business. From Tim Ingham at Music Business Worldwide, the AI music streaming flood where we're at. From Bill Donahue at Billboard, will Live Nation and Ticketmaster really get broken up?

And from Hannah Collard over at Media, Meta launches paid subscriptions. Is the era of free social media at an end? And from Elizabeth Diltz Marshall again over at Billboard, Suno raised $400 million ahead of new AI model made in partnership with Music Industry Establishment.

Plus, we'll discuss an op-ed published in Music Business Worldwide by Jorge Brea, CEO of Symphonic Distribution, calling on the global music industry to adopt standardized policies around AI-generated music before the problem gets worse. Well, we are glad you're here. Jay and I are going to start the show right about now. Stand by for transmission. This is London calling.

I'm kind of bummed I'm going to be in California while you are having fun in New York.
