Los Angeles Internet Attorney

The Los Angeles (LA) music industry is constantly changing.  One of the biggest changes that could affect all recording artist and record labels is the introduction of the Fair Play Fair Pay Act earlier this year.  No the Act hasn’t gone into law but there is big debate over its benefits for music performers and how it could change the U.S. Copyright Act.

Some believe that its more detrimental to new acts then it helps because it would require over the air (free) radio stations to start paying bands, music acts, and record labels everything their music is played.  This would incentivize the radio stations to only play popular acts and ignore newer bands.

The Act would proposed many other changes, including requiring pre 1972 recording music to be paid as well.
