Usually, when people make something creative – a book, a photograph, a website – the person who made it owns the copyright, and anyone who wants to use that work needs to negotiate the rights to use it. That's the general rule. But general rules don't apply all the time, which is why we have lawyers. The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board deals with a special part of copyright law where Congress has said rightsholders don't actually have a choice over whether their works can be used, but they do need to be compensated. The board has a new chief judge. He's David Shaw. He talk about this specific part of copyright law with Federal News Network Deputy Editor Jared Serbu.

Late yesterday (October 14), the National Music Publishers' Association made the claim that a number of digital service owners – including Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and Pandora – are trying to cut the amount of money they pay songwriters in the US to the "lowest royalty rates in history".That claim was made by David Israelite, CEO and President of the NMPA, in reference to a new rate-setting procedure in the States involving the Copyright Royalty Board ('CRB IV') that has just got underway.CRB IV will result in a new statutory royalty rate paid to songwriters between the years of 2023 and 2027.Each digital service provider must now file a proposal for what they think songwriters should get paid from their platforms during this period.These filings aren't yet public, but Israelite claims he knows what's in them – and it's not good news.In this exclusive Music Business Worldwide Podcast, Israelite sets out his argument, explaining why the NMPA is now demanding that songwriters in the US effectively get 20% of revenue generated by any streaming service.He also tackles the counter-arguments of Big Tech over a songwriter pay rise head on... and doesn't mince his words.The MBW Podcast is supported by Voly Music.

THE Mike Gormley INTERVIEW SERIES ON TJS Our Special Guest today is Dan Navarro. Dan Navarro's journey began as a songwriter, often with the late Eric Lowen, for artists as diverse as Pat Benatar (the Grammy-nominated “We Belong”) , The Bangles, Jackson Browne, Dave Edmunds, The Temptations, Dionne Warwick, The Triplets, Dutch star Marco Borsato, and Austin outlaw legend Rusty Weir. In the 1990s and 2000s, Dan and Eric recorded and toured as the acclaimed acoustic duo Lowen & Navarro until Eric's retirement in 2009 (and passing in 2012). Dan has transitioned smoothly into a busy solo career over the past dozen years, touring nationally almost constantly. Dan maintains a parallel career as a voice actor and singer, in major films like The Playmobil Movie (coming in November, 2019), Pirates of the Caribbean 5, The Book Of Life, Rio (on the Oscar®-nominated song “Real In Rio”), The Lorax, Oscar® winners Coco and Happy Feet; TV series Family Guy, American Dad, Elena of Avalor, Sofia the First and Prison Break; records with Neil Young, Andrea Bocelli, Luis Miguel, Jose Feliciano, Janiva Magness, and Jon Anderson of Yes; hit video games Red Dead Redemption II, Fallout 4 and Uncharted 4, and hundreds of TV ads for Honda, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Nationwide, Subaru, Shakey's and more. He has advocated for artists and songwriters, on behalf of SAG-AFTRA, the Nashville Songwriters Assn Int'l, Folk Allaince International, SoundExchange, The Recording Academy, musicFIRST, BMI and the musicFIRST Coalition, including testimony in Washington before the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Copyright Royalty Board. Dan is on the National and Local Boards of SAG-AFTRA and is a Trustee on the AFM / SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund. In 2009, after more than 20 years and 12 CDs and digital albums with Lowen & Navarro, Dan released the spirited “Live at McCabe's”, backed by his pals, Austin's now-disbanded country-rock powerhouse, Stonehoney. His new album, “Shed My Skin”, produced by Steve Postell, is out now. Dan has a 24-year-old son, thinks sleep is for babies and is a known abuser of acoustic guitars. Host Note (Jeremiah) P.S.

She begins by explaining how copyright in music works and who owns the different copyright interests in a typical song.

This Week’s Guest Born in Memphis, TN, to a classically trained pianist, Derek took to music naturally, as both a musician and a songwriter. After taking a single guitar lesson, he was self-taught, and by his sophomore year in high school was on the road as a touring musician. Derek joined his first band, Caedmon’s Call, in 1993. They were signed to Warner Alliance three years later. Two years following, in 1998, the band’s self-titled release won Gospel Music Awards Modern Rock Album of the Year. Following numerous other, critically acclaimed releases with Caedmon’s Call, Derek struck out on a solo career in 2001. He would go on to release four studio albums with label INO, before going independent to self-release five additional records. His latest, Targets, is slated for 2019. In addition to Derek’s songwriting, recording, and touring career, in 2008, he founded NoiseTrade, a pioneering direct-to-fan platform, which was acquired by Pledge Music in 2016. Highlights The power of singular focus in an artist’s career Knowing how and when to jump – to seize opportunities when they arise Becoming a “middle class musician” The seasons of investment and return in an artist’s career Why the debate about streaming as good or bad is irrelevant Streaming’s place in an artist’s overall revenue equation The differences and shifts in power and money between content creators and content owners Using streaming to cultivate super fans Taking the pressure of revenue off a young artist’s music The story behind the appeals on against the Copyright Royalty Board’s rate increase How emerging technologies like VR can foster or hinder connection and empathy between artists and fans Resources Derek on Twitter Derek on Wikipedia derekwebb.com NoiseTrade Middle Class Musician

David Israelite is President and CEO of the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA).The NMPA is up in arms over the fact that Spotify and Amazon - in addition to Google and Pandora – are objecting to a ruling offering songwriters a streaming pay rise in the United States.Apple Music has declined to oppose the royalty rate rise, which has been decided by the Copyright Royalty Board.David explains: "[Spotify and Amazon] have shown their true colors. They don't respect songwriters, they are attacking songwriters to try to cut what they pay them. It's time for everybody to rise up and say: enough."

Judith Finell, Musicologist, president of Judith Finell Music Services Season 2, Episode 6 Ever started explaining something to a friend, and you can tell, usually, immediately, this person has no idea what you're talking about (you can see it in the eyes). When that happens, I always make up a little story... “It’s like trying to describe the idea of fusion to a clueless platypus.” Or... “It’s like explaining the theory of general relativity to a stupid rabbit.” Or... “It’s like discussing the concepts of thermodynamics with a slow turtle. ” With that in mind, the best way to describe this podcast would be,  "Trying to describe Music Theory to a Dimwitted Penguin." And, in this case, the "Dimwitted Penguin" happens to be me. That's mainly because this episode covers the ideas of plagiarism, music, copyright, and the law. Three things I can't always wrap my brain around. The background for this episode revolves around the "Blurred Lines" court case from a few years back. It started back in 2013 when the Marvin Gaye Estate sued Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams over their single, "Blurred Lines".  The Gaye Family claimed that Thick and Williams didn't so much write a song as they just stole the music from Marvin Gay's 1977 song, "Give it up." To me, it seemed like a pretty straightforward case - they did steal it, or they didn't?  But nothing is ever easy. How do you prove, prove to a jury that something is a copy? Two songs may sound the same - but are they the same? How can you prove plagiarism and how can you prove it in a court of law. Can you even copyright a sound? So, in the case of, "Blurred Lines," the Marvin Gaye Estate turned to Judith Finell. Judith is a musicologist, and she happens to understand music, the law, plagiarism and copyright better than anyone... From her website... She has testified in disputes for Michael Jackson, Sony/CBS, Warner-Chappell, the estates of Igor Stravinsky and Bob Marley and before the Copyright Royalty Board in Washington on behalf of the National Music Publishers Assn. in a dispute with the RIAA. Ms. Finell’s firm regularly advises entertainment company clients on licensing and risk avoidance in copyright matters, including HBO, Sony Pictures, Disney, Grey Advertising, Lionsgate, LucasFilms, CBS, and others. It's an insightful conversation. We discuss the definition of, "musicologist," how Judith, "sees" music in her head, How copyright law forced her to play the piano in court, and how she was able to convince a jury that two songs are indeed the same. Plus, Judith tells us what exactly is, "Perfect Pitch."

New technology has greatly lowered the barrier of entry into the music industry for new artists looking to release recordings and distribute their music. How have these emergent technologies affected copyright law and, subsequently, the salaries of working musicians? In this episode of Planet Lex, host Dan Rodriguez talks with Northwestern Pritzker School of Law Professor of Law Searle Research Fellow Peter DiCola about music copyright law and how new technology has affected the industry. Peter speaks briefly about his professional history and opens the interview with an explanation of copyright law. He then analyzes how early technology, like the piano roll and the phonograph, challenged notions of whether and how composers should get paid and provides examples of how these questions are still relevant today. Peter then discusses the formation of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and provides insight into how the Copyright Royalty Board determines the price satellite radio and webcasting services should pay for the use of sound recordings. He evaluates the differences in how Congress established licenses for webcasting vs. on-demand internet radio and compares the varying restrictions for each. Peter closes the interview with a discussion of songwriter income reduction and whether the societal devaluation of music even permits these artists to work in the industry full time today.
