Content Creators Coalition Asks Wyden to Drop Alternative Music Copyright Bill

The Content Creators Coalition asked Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., to stop pushing alternative music copyright legislation as the Senate Judiciary Committee considers a package of bills on the topic (see 1805230068). The Compensating Legacy Artists for Their Songs, Service and Important Contributions to Society, (Classics) Act portion of the package, which Wyden seeks to replace, corrects what some see as royalty injustices against legacy artists. The coalition is running ads in favor of the Classics Act over Wyden’s Accessibility for Curators, Creators, Educators, Scholars and Society (Access) to Recordings Act. Wyden’s office didn’t comment.
