I have a bodacious update on my case with @Dominorecordco. They have recognised my original claim, that I should be paid a 50% royalty on streaming and downloads, and that they should be treated as a license rather than the same as a CD or vinyl sale.

It has been a difficult and stressful experience to work my way through this court case and I’m so glad we got this positive result, but I feel hugely relieved that the process is over.

Unlike Domino, I didn’t work with a big law firm and luckily the case took place in the IPEC court (where legal costs are capped) so I was able to stand my ground.

I hope these types of life of copyright deals become extinct - the music industry isn’t definitive and given its evolutionary nature it seems crazy to me to try and institutionalise music in that way.

I feel so thankful for the people who worked with me on this, all of them understood my motivation, and I am truly grateful for all of the fans and artists who showed support for the intention here.

Here’s a small glimpse into how I created the @FourTet / KH video for ‘Looking at my pager’ using antiquated software, a lot of patience & my go to FX/compositing program. @AppleMotion
My video for the new @FourTet KH single ‘Looking At Your Pager’ is released today. Super proud of this one, was a trip to make. piped.kavin.rocks/Z2IwAKmY774
