SCL, SGA, and MCNA Thank US Representatives for Support of Independent Music Creators

The Society of Composers & Lyricists are listed among a coalition of independent music creator advocacy organizations in a message of thanks to several members of the US House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary for their interest in creating government oversight to protect music creators in matters of copyright and royalties.

From the letter, sent Wednesday, September 18, 2024:

[…] music creators are vastly outspent by multi-billion-dollar corporations, and thus under-represented, in advocacy initiatives on virtually every issue of fairness connected to the music industry– whether before the Copyright Royalty Board (“CRB”), in the MLC boardroom, on hearing panels before Governmental oversight agencies, or in the courtroom. For those reasons alone, we are ecstatic that through our public submissions and our contacts with your good offices, you understand our plight and find our cause just.
