That's leaving some stuff out.

Kay-Lynn put up a song.
I criticized its validity and gave reasons.
She put up the responses of an actual publisher. I believe the account that she posted.
The publisher's reaction was in sharp contrast to mine.
In this context, I value the publisher's opinion far above my own.

My next thing to do....
1) review the publishers remarks
2) look at the song again, attempting to see it through the publisher's eyes
3) In doing so, try to gain some insight.

Do I consider any publisher to be the infallible last word?
No, but undoubtedly massively more informed than me.

The takeaway...
I don't truly know anything actual and detailed about promoting songs and what works and what doesn't in that world. If I'm confronted with something from a much more credible source than me...that contradicts me... and I choose to continue to argue with it...then I am just another random fool.

And yes, if you put up legalistic opinions about the music business, I would discount them as uninformed and to be disregarded.

The young atty, if nothing else, can knowledgeably open and shed light on the subject of copyrights, etc.
