The House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of The Performance Rights Act this week!
The bill would finally close the "corporate radio loophole" and allow performers to be compensated when their recordings are played on terrestrial radio, just as they are on Internet and satellite radio.
Despite enormous pressure from the broadcaster's lobby to kill this bill it passed. We can move this bill forward with your help.
