To the average observer Wednesday’s House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Internet music royalties may have simply looked like a typical DC fight between large industry interests over how to split up a dollar. While that may be partly true, it is also important to remember how these decisions can impact what music that we (the consumers) have access to and the choices we have in how we listen to it. Public Knowledge provided that voice of what is important for both consumers and artists through a written statement for the record. However, the main event on Wednesday was the oral testimony by an industry-dominated panel, so lets get to the blow-by-blow.

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.

[title] => The Internet Radio Fairness Act: What It Means for Radio, Musicians, and You
[teaser] =>
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.

November 02, 2012
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.

The First Amendment is not a Buzzword: The Silversun Pickups and the Romney Campaign
Follow @sherwinpkYet 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.

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.

Tomorrow I’ll be testifying against the merger of Universal Music Group (UMG) and EMI Music. A merger between the 1st and 4th largest record companies, in our opinion, would result in a “super-major” label with a 41% market share that would be able to dictate the future of new digital music services. The combined entity could deny licenses to new services, charge them enormous licensing rates, or even take an equity stake in the service.

Digital distribution of music has changed the way we experience music and has begun to level the playing field between major record labels, independent labels, and unsigned artists. But major labels still dominate the market, controlling which new digital services live and die.
Now, major record label Universal Music Group (UMG) is attempting to acquire another major label, EMI. This would result in two companies—UMG and Sony—controlling almost 70% of the recorded music market.
Public Knowledge's Position
Public Knowledge believes that that type of market power would raise prices, harm independent labels and unsigned artists, and stunt the growth of innovation in the music industry. At such a high rate of consolidation, no new digital music service could exist without the blessing of UMG and Sony (and only those that do business on UMG and Sony’s terms would get their blessing).
