An Insanely Detailed Discussion About the Music Modernization Act
If you want an even deeper dive, Jeff Price of Audiam (who's being interviewed) compiled a highly detailed review of the Music Modernization Act on Digital Music News.  It basically explains everything. After you hear this podcast + read this guide, you'll hopefully have a far deeper understanding of this bill (and know what to do next). Also, here's a quick annotation of this podcast, so you can skip around to various parts.   0:00 Intro 1:54 Interview with Jeff Price begins 3:57 What the hell is the Music Modernization Act (and why do we need it)? 6:17 What exactly is a 'streaming service,' and what are the different types of streaming licenses? 8:11 How does the publishing work with Pandora? 11:04 What is a Public Performance? 13:35 What is a 'Reproduction License' (i.e., Mechanical License) - and why is it so important? 27:10 Why does Congress need to get involved? 28:00 Where did the giant problem begin? 30:00 'The recording part was figured out' 31:02 Did Spotify just not know about the licenses they needed to pay? 37:00 'So they put together a solution...'
