With the election only three months away, it’s crucial for music creators to understand the issues that could significantly impact their livelihoods. The decisions made by elected officials can shape the landscape of our industry, affecting everything from streaming revenues to the use of artificial intelligence in music creation.
Why Voting Matters for Music Creators
- Impact on Streaming and AI Policies Elected officials are responsible for crafting and enforcing policies that influence how streaming services operate and how artificial intelligence is used in music production. These policies directly affect how much you earn from your work and how your creations are used and protected.
- Government Regulation of Income Approximately three-quarters of an American songwriter’s or composer’s income is regulated by federal policies. This includes issues related to copyright laws and fair compensation for work used or distributed online. The way these regulations are shaped can have a profound impact on your financial stability as a creator.
- The Importance of Strong Copyright Laws Robust copyright laws are essential for safeguarding your music and ensuring you receive fair compensation for your creative efforts. Without strong protections, it becomes easier for others to use your work without permission or proper remuneration.
