  • Content Creators Coalition
    May 23, 2014 Jacqueline C. Charlesworth General Counsel and Associate Register of Copyrights Library of Congress Copyright Office 101 Independence Avenue, S.E. Washington, D.C. 20559-6000 Docket No. 2014–03 Re: Music Licensing Study Dear Jacqueline C. Charlesworth: The Content Creators Coalition, an artist rights organization made up of people who create content—including recording artists, songwriters, filmmakers, writers, photographers, visual artists, performers, producers—is responding to the Copyright Office’s Notice of Inquiry on music licensing. Although the Office is seeking comments on a variety of topics, the Content Creators Coalition has identified one that is of core importance: the right of all creative people to be compensated for their work. Thus we are commenting to state that we support a full public performance right for sound recordings, to apply in areas beyond digital audio transmission such as terrestrial radio. Recording artists currently receive compensation for their music from satellite radio, cable radio, and Internet webcasts. But over-the-air broadcasters have a unique exemption and are the only form of radio not required to compensate creators. That does not make sense and seems a double standard. Over-the-air radio stations can use music to build their audience and advertising revenue but then do not share any of that revenue with the performers and artists. Over-the-air radio stations can and should compete under the same rules as their competitors. Fundamental fairness dictates that recording artists and musicians of all types, including lead performers, session musicians, and singers, should be compensated for their work. To enjoy the fruits of your own labor is certainly an American principle and a principle that has support all across the world.

    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
