The Nashville Songwriters Association International, the Songwriters of North America, National Music Publishers’ Association, today unveiled broad endorsements for their industry-consensus Music Licensing Collective submission to the U.S. Copyright Office.
Multi-platinum selling MercyMe took part in today’s historic moment as the Orrin G. Hatch—Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act was signed into law.
“This is the most important piece of legislation in a generation,” Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said on the Senate floor after the bill was approved. “It makes sure songwriters get paid and get paid fairly.”
The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where a hearing is scheduled for May 15 in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
