"The Music Modernization Act is a much-welcomed solution for songwriters, and represents a critical step towards comprehensive music reform. The Recording Academy applauds Reps. Collins and Jeffries for their tireless efforts to put together a balanced and beneficial approach that brings significant reforms to the songwriter community. For many years now, we have championed a comprehensive approach to reform music laws; the Music Modernization Act, along with the other pro-music creator reforms introduced this Congress, affords Congress a real opportunity to fully modernize music laws in a meaningful way."
