The Issues

END
UNFAIR
PRACTICES,
UPDATE
OUTDATED
LAWS

Radio
used
to
be
one
of
the
only
ways
consumers
could
listen
to
music,
but
times
have
changed.
The
explosive
growth
of
digital
music
streaming
services,
combined
with
the
diversity
of
listening
options
found
on
satellite
radio,
have
transformed
the
music
landscape.
Yet,
the
laws
that
govern
music
today
were
designed
for
a
media
landscape
that
no
longer
exists.
This
creates
an
environment
where
traditional
radio
continues
to
refuse
to
compensate
artists
fairly,
and
other
services
hide
behind
legal
loopholes
to
avoid
paying
artists
when
they
profit
from
their
works.
musicFIRST
is
working
for
a
clear
and
efficient
system
that
supports
fair
pay
for
all
music
on
all
platforms.

Performance Royalties

AM/FM radio doesn't pay music creators for their work.
Value Gap

YouTube and other platforms are cheating music creators.

Protect Local Radio

Big broadcasters are trying to take over more local radio stations.
National Treatment

Artists deserve equal access to royalties regardless of nationality.
The Solution

Fairness
for
all
Music
Creators

Music
has
value
and
music
creators
should
be
fairly
compensated
for
their
work.
Legislation
that
addresses
these
issues,
combined
with
more
responsible
practices
by
music
services,
will
restore
the
core
American
value
of
fairness
to
music.
