Music Modernization Act Signed Into Law
It appears that today President Trump signed the Music Modernization Act into law.

Another part of the bill: Quote:
The bill is officially the Orrin G. Hatch Music Modernization Law. What is interesting about that is that Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), is also a composer, so he probably had some keen interest in this law. Most people aren't aware of this side of Sen. Hatch. I didn't even realize such a thing was in the works until I stumbled on the news story. I wonder if other nations will follow suit? |

I'm super happy, this might be the best that has happened to us composers since the era of digital distribution began and it goes even further!
This act has been around since the days of pres Bush jr but nobody cared to pass it until now. However I didn't know the senator was a composer himself until yesterday, I'm following him on Twitter, it's good to know somebody cares and knows about. |

What many people don't know is that a few of Sen. Hatch's songs have been featured in some big films, such as this one from "Oceans 12" which he wrote with Madeline Stone. Its a side of the Senator many people don't know about. He wrote this song for his close friend the late Sen. Ted Kennedy and his wife. Even though they were politically opposite, they remained close personal friends until Sen. Kennedy's death. Pretty interesting. So, songwriters and producers have had strong ally in D.C. all this time. |
