When a company has just started, they may have not set this up. You can invoice the company. It's not a big deal. Again - of all flags - lack of pay stubs is the least of them if it's just a garage startup with 3-ish people. The a

No - the songs a very close. Similar beats, genre, production values, upbeat, bubblegum themes, and then you have the 3-5 whooping by a 'chorus of teens' or whatever. It's very, very similar. It's a thing. And it's
