Performance Rights Bill Passes Through Judiciary Committee
Yay! What better day, than on Stevie Wonder’s birthday to hear that the House Judiciary Committee favorably reported the legislation yesterday by a vote of 21-9.
“Today the House Judiciary Committee approved the Performance Rights Act (H.R. 848). The Bill will close a loophole in copyright law that allows music radio stations to earn billions of dollars each year without compensating the artists, musicians and rights holders who bring music to life and listeners’ ears to the radio dial.”
This brings musicians everywhere one step closer to getting them paid for radio play. We all still need to continue our work to implement this change, and we should continue to spread this campaign to increase support of artists all over the country.
Thanks to all who had called into their Members of Congress during the past couple days! Great job! For that go check out our artists who’s “sound” no doubt were influenced by the Wonder Man himself:
Erik Rico
Tortured Soul

Happy 59th Stevie!
