Testimony of Public Knowledge in "Music Licensing Part One: Legislation in the 112th Congress"

November 29, 2012
Issues: 

Testimony of Jodie Griffin
Staff Attorney
Public Knowledge

Before the
U.S. House of Representative
Committee on the Judiciary
Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet

Hearing On:
Music Licensing Part One: Legislation in the 112th Congress

Washington, DC
November 29, 2012

Executive Summary

The Internet Radio Fairness Act (IRFA) sets out to create fairness in the radio marketplace. To actually achieve that goal, IRFA must follow three key principles:

(1)  Encourage Markets. IRFA must use a royalty standard that encourages innovation in a robust and sustainable online radio marketplace.

(2)  Treat Like Services Alike. IRFA must apply the same royalty standard to all types of radio services, including online, cable, satellite, and AM/FM radio.

The Internet Radio Fairness Act: What It Means for Radio, Musicians, and You

Last week we broke down the details of the Internet Radio Fairness Act, the recently proposed bill that aims to update the compulsory licenses for online radio services. This week we’ll be delving more into the real world impacts of IRFA.

At the end of the day, the proposals in IRFA are a good start toward promoting a healthy, competitive radio marketplace, but there are still a couple of missing pieces that the bill must include to truly be technology-neutral and to fairly balance the interests at stake in the radio marketplace.

The Internet Radio Fairness Act: Revamping the Online Radio Marketplace

Royalties for online radio and other digital music services are a prominent topic for today’s recorded music industry, and the discussion has only grown with the recent introduction of the Internet Radio Fairness Act in the House and Senate. IRFA aims to revamp the parts of the Copyright Act that create licenses for online radio services to pay for transmitting sound recordings to their users. More specifically, IRFA would change the standard by which online radio royalty rates are set, alter the qualifications and appointment procedures for the Copyright Royalty Judges, and make several more changes to the process of setting online radio royalties.

IRFA aims to revamp the parts of the Copyright Act that create licenses for online radio services to pay for transmitting sound recordings to their users. More specifically, IRFA would change the standard by which online radio royalty rates are set, alter the qualifications and appointment procedures for the Copyright Royalty Judges, and make several more changes to the process of setting online radio royalties.

The First Amendment is not a Buzzword: The Silversun Pickups and the Romney Campaign

Yet again, a band is objecting to the use of its music by a political campaign it doesn’t like. The Silversun Pickups, upon learning that their song “Panic Switch” was used at a Romney campaign event, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the campaign, claiming that the use infringed the band's copyrights and trademarks.

Trying to Make it in Music? Why Artists Should Oppose the UMG-EMI Merger

It is hard enough to land a job in a profession that accepts applications. So imagine chasing a career that depends on getting discovered. This is the reality for artists who aspire to sign a record deal with a major label. The four major record labels – Sony, EMI, Warner, and Universal (or UMG) – do not typically accept unsolicited submissions from artists. And to make matters worse, if UMG is successful in its bid to acquire EMI, artists could face an even steeper climb to success.

Public Knowledge Testifies Against the Universal/EMI Merger

Yesterday I watched PK President and CEO Gigi Sohn, among others, testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights in a hearing on “The Universal Music Group/EMI Merger and the Future of Online Music.” Seeing the hearing in person was itself an achievement, as the line was already down the hall and around the corner an hour and a half before the scheduled start. Obviously, this is a subject people are interested in. PK, in particular, is concerned that allowing the largest record company to absorb the fourth largest would create a “super-major” label that would have too much control over methods of distribution and would harm consumer access to music.
