Play Me, Maybe? Will the DOJ Silence Live Music?
Description:
To play music publicly, you need a license. Figuring out how can be almost impossible. Why? Because music data, who owns what, and who wrote what is a tangled mess. Now, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Chief is threatening to remove the guardrails around the industry’s biggest music licensing duopolies, which could make this mess much worse.
Ensuring everyone can enjoy the music they love while guaranteeing artists get the money they deserve is at risk. Join key music industry stakeholders in exploring what the government should be doing to make music licensing easier and to bring transparency to this opaque system.
