Trump Signs Landmark Music Bill Into Law. Music Biz Leaders Enthusiastic

Excerpt:

The president delivered prepared comments calling the MMA a milestone that would “close loopholes” in copyright law and help music creators get paid. “They were treated very unfairly. They’re not going to be treated unfairly anymore,” Trump added.

Music business leaders reacted to the signing with enthusiasm; see some of the statements below from various groups.

Spotify’s general counsel and vice president of business and legal affairs Horacio Gutierrez: “One of our core missions at Spotify is to enable a million artists to make a good living from what they love: creating and performing music. The Music Modernization Act is a huge step towards making that a reality, modernizing the outdated licensing system to suit the digital world we live in. The MMA will benefit the music community and create a more transparent and streamlined approach to music licensing and payment for artists.”

This was very much about writers and musicians from the past.

Depending on when a recording was made, prior to 1972 for example, nobody received any royalties when the song was “streamed” so the streaming services were loving it. Not anymore.

This also covers producers and others who were in a loophole in the current law. It really is a huge deal for many older writers and such

Ah, back to the old "weather is climate" tack, which has nothing to do with anything.

How do some people even function with Trump clanging around in their heads all the time?
