As musicians, we understand better than anyone that music has value and we along with other artists should be fairly compensated our work.
Under our current laws, this isn't the case. In fact, music copyright laws are so outdated that many were written before the internet even existed. The good news is that a new, bipartisan bill has been introduced that will benefit musicians and other artists who create the work.
This bill aims to restore a core principle of fairness to music: People who work should be paid for their work, particularly when others are making a profit from it.
Support for performance rights has never been stronger and momentum towards real copyright reform is building every day.
