Reform in Tea Party Nation all agree with us. While radio touts a nonbinding resolution, congressional leaders from both parties are working on real legislation to resolve this issue. Any copyright performed simply must include a radio performance right. To resolve this and other issues, we support several thoughtful bills. This would insist if broadcasters value the content they must value the content of others. This w0u8d remove the loophole. Now i had time for a unified holistic approach to music licensing and time for a music omnibus bill or music bus for short. Where kwoip write review under way, we need our industry in congress to be visionary and created a unified approach for the future of our business and the music bus idea is really simple.
