I've had a premium Pandora sub for years (about four years, w/ autorenewal!) but I'm kind of appalled by their Soundexchange lobbying.

@sarahjeong@alisternburg Over-the-air radio has always been able to play music for free. And everyone did quite well from that.
@CathyGellis @alisternburg Over-air has to get licenses from BMI & ASCAP for rights in comp. It's diff. but hardly "for free"

@sarahjeong@alisternburg Think also about who SX is and why they get the privilege of bargaining for all artists. Is that really just? -
@CathyGellis@alisternburg It's problematic, but Spotify's negotiations (free market, non compulsory) screwed small artists too. -
@sarahjeong@alisternburg Oh no, there's nothing free market about any of this! Is what Internet Fair Play bill was in part trying to fix. -
@CathyGellis@alisternburg How does reducing compulsory license rates help artists? -
@sarahjeong@alisternburg It's not the rates so much, it's the license itself. Everyone is trapped in system whether good for them or not. -
@CathyGellis@alisternburg Yes. But fact remains that artists are getting checks from SoundExchange, & those amts will be reduced by IRFA. -
@CathyGellis@alisternburg I don't think that means one side is right or wrong, I think it's terribly complicated. No easy answer. -
@CathyGellis@alisternburg All I can say is that I found the Pandora spin on their lobbying discomforting. - 9 réponses de plus

@sarahjeong@alisternburg Those licenses have their own issues, but SoundExchange only collects for rights in performance. -
@CathyGellis@alisternburg Yes, but my point is both the old and new spaces entangled in compulsory licenses. There is no "old better way" -
@sarahjeong@alisternburg They are shaped sufficiently differently that webcasting licenses are a new burden with greater impact.
