OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder wants artists to stop posting demos of songs they won't use

[RAMROD 107,789]

He did not lie. And why any of Gaga's producers not doing that. Not even DJWS who always seems eager to post those AP outtakes

it isn't that person's song. it's a song of all creators. songwriters don't earn much even from songs that are officially released and if any artist leaks a demo they can't earn anything from this or reuse their lyrics/melodies in the future.

Why

Why 

no artist will want to release something that has already been posted by another artist and is circulating online. this demo that Lewis Capaldi posted has over 600k views on TikTok, 2.8M views on Instagram after 1 day. that's a lot of people. no one would want to record it now and be compared to Lewis' version.

That sounds like a corporate problem

A cover is a song someone records after it was already recorded by someone else.

It happens all the time.

you don't cover unreleased songs. every artist wants something new, fresh so songwriters can't use demos that were posted on TikTok by another artist.

Obviously if somebody posts a demo on their story they're using it for hype. That hype isn't gonna exist if somebody else ends up using those lyrics/beat. With labels pushing tik tok and the fast fashion of music being a thing now, they're not gonna buy a beat/song that's already burned its hype.
