But aside from her music and self-sustaining career, Keating is also an activist on Capitol Hill.  Currently, she's stumping for the American Mechanical Licensing Collective (AMLC), a group that's taking on potentially serious conflicts of interest among major publishers like Sony\/ATV and Universal Music Publishing Group. (Also, Keating is asking anyone who's listening to vote on the upcoming MLC selection process with the U.S. Copyright Office.  The link to comment is here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZjYCMH.
