In this video, Berklee Online instructor Eric Beall continues to discuss the Music Modernization Act, a bill passed to law in 2018 that updates Section 115 of the US Copyright Act to help bring copyright laws into the digital age of streaming. He explains how this new law affects performance royalties and Performing Rights Organizations (PROs). Using ASCAP and BMI as examples, he explains how laws concerning the rates these organizations charge for blanket licenses haven’t been changed since the 1940s, and how the consent decrees put in place have made it harder for them to collect fair rates.
