Senator Marsha Blackburn and Rep. Jerrold Nadler today introduced the Ask Musicians for Music Act , which aims to revise existing copyright law for radio stations and musicians.
Many industry organizations have long lobbied for changes in the law, which has been even more strenuously opposed by the National Assocation of Broadcasters and radio lobbying groups. Rep. Jerrold Nadler , Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives. “The United States is an outlier in the world for not requiring broadcast radio to pay artists when playing their music, while requiring satellite and internet radio to pay,” he said. “This is unfair to both artists and music providers.
“Music is essential to the radio business, but for far too long, AM/FM radio broadcasters have profited by using sound recordings without paying anything to their creators,” said Mitch Glazier, Chairman and CEO, Recording Industry Association of America. “This bill puts the power of free markets to work to reverse that.
