The Protect Working Musicians Act would allow independent artists to collectively negotiate with platforms, demanding fair compensation for their work. Tell your representatives to support the Protect Working Musicians Act! “As we all spent more time at home this past year and a half, streaming services gave us the chance to enjoy the music we love, even when we did not get to hear it live. But with the exponentially increasing market power of a few tech platforms, the voices of independent musicians get harder to hear. By protecting small and independent musicians and labels, we allow a more diverse chorus of voices to fairly negotiate their terms. And in a landscape dominated by a few powerful players, we know every single artist we admire is being fairly compensated for their work.” - Representative Ted Deutch (D-FL) https://actionnetwork.org/letters/c0ba29183c2f3c68fc14ad79dc29d4cf6d2b745f
