 View All News Articles Copyright Royalty Board Issues Rate DecisionThe Copyright Royalty Board has issued their decision for mechanical royalty rates on Physical Phonorecords, Permanent Digital Downloads and Ringtones as follows: Physical Phonorecords: $09.1cents + overtime rate The AIMP is pleased with this critical decision as the RIAA and DIMA were pushing for a reduction in mechanical royalty payments. Anything less than this would lead to the erosion of an already distressed business. This decision is a confirmation of the value of music, the importance of fair treatment for songwriters & publishers and will motivate songwriters to continue to create music for the masses. We are thankful for the efforts of David Israelite, President and CEO of the National Music Publishers’ Association and his staff for their hard work on this long rate decision process The AIMP has joined forces with the NMPA, Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI) and Songwriters Guild of America (SGA) on making additional comments on Section 115 Compusory Licensing. |
