S2 E6 “They Lawyered Up, We Logged On”

🎙 The AC Pulse — Season 2, Episode 6
“They Lawyered Up, We Logged On”

When accountability knocks, institutions don’t always respond with integrity — they respond with attorneys.

In Episode 6 of The AC Pulse: Season 2 — Behind the Red Line, host Amanda Corrales breaks down what happened after she formally invoiced RedLine for copyright infringement. Instead of dialogue, repair, or acknowledgment, the organization escalated to legal dismissal — attempting to erase authorship, deny ownership, and rewrite the record entirely.

This episode exposes how nonprofit power operates once an artist stops asking politely and starts documenting professionally. Using real emails, legal language, and firsthand receipts, Amanda walks listeners through the familiar institutional playbook: deny protectability, minimize contribution, recast the artist as the aggressor, and close ranks behind legalese.

With razor-sharp analysis and biting satire — including a mock ad for Silence Shield™ by Legalese® — Episode 6 unpacks how artists are embraced as “community” until they assert ownership, credit, or compensation. Then suddenly, they’re a liability.

This isn’t just about RedLine.
It’s about how systems protect themselves — and how artists protect the record.

In this episode:

• When silence becomes institutional strategy

• How nonprofits use lawyers to deflect accountability

• Why copyright exists the moment you create

• How gaslighting collapses when receipts are logged

• A satirical ad break that hits a little too close to home

Coming next: the funders — and the quiet complicity that keeps this cycle alive.

The AC Pulse is where the gaslighting stops — and the public record begins.
