DC101: A Musician's Guide to the Policy Landscape
Oct 4 2009 - 3:30pm - 4:45pm
Presentation
Webcasting rates. Copyright clauses. Media ownership. Spectrum policy. In a surprising number of cases, how musicians and songwriters are compensated, and how much access they have to the media, are affected by policies made in Washington, DC. This workshop will review some of today’s key legislative issues, and talk about why musicians need to have a voice in the debates, and how you can get involved.
