Nashville — Yesterday, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet, held a field hearing in Nashville, TN entitled “Five Years Later — The Music Modernization Act.”
The hearing brought together bipartisan members of the House subcommittee as well as creators and key stakeholders of the music industry to discuss the effectiveness of the Music Licensing Collective—established by the MMA—and to further the need for policies to protect the rights of creators.
Following the hearing, Chairman Issa stated:
“Today’s hearing was a critical step in determining whether our licensing and royalty system implemented by the MMA is operating fairly and efficiently.
I am proud of the tangible impact this legislation has had over the last five years in protecting the rights and works of our creative minds; however, our work in Congress must continue. I look forward to continuing working alongside our creators and licensing regulators alike. This is just the beginning.”
