The explosive growth of digital music streaming services, combined with the diversity of listening options found on satellite radio, have transformed the music landscape. Yet, the laws that govern music today were designed for a media landscape that no longer exists. This creates an environment where traditional radio continues to refuse to compensate artists fairly, and other services hide behind legal loopholes to avoid paying artists when they profit from their works. musicFIRST is working for a clear and efficient system that supports fair pay for all music on all platforms.</p> </div> <div class="line issues__bottom-line"></div> </section> <section class="steps scroll-reveal"> <div class="container steps-grid"> <div class="grow "> <div class="step "> <a href="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/the-issues/performance-royalties/"> <div class="number m-b-2"> <img data-src="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/No-Heart-Radio-1.svg" alt="Performance Royalties" class="svg lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="> </div> <div class="question"> Performance Royalties </div> <div class="answer"> <p>AM/FM radio doesn't pay music creators for their work.</p> </div> </a> </div> </div> <div class="grow "> <div class="step "> <a href="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/the-issues/value-gap/"> <div class="number m-b-2"> <img data-src="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/musicfirst_youlose.svg" alt="Value Gap" class="svg lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="> </div> <div class="question"> Value Gap </div> <div class="answer"> <p>YouTube and other platforms are cheating music creators.</p> </div> </a> </div> </div> <div class="grow "> <div class="step "> <a href="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/the-issues/protect-local-radio/"> <div class="number m-b-2"> <img data-src="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/icon-round-2-1-1.svg" alt="Protect Local Radio" class="svg lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="> </div> <div class="question"> Protect Local Radio </div> <div class="answer"> <p>Big broadcasters are trying to take over more local radio stations.</p> </div> </a> </div> </div> <div class="grow "> <div class="step "> <a href="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/the-issues/national-treatment/"> <div class="number m-b-2"> <img data-src="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Globe-Symbol-01-01.svg" alt="National Treatment" class="svg lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="> </div> <div class="question"> National Treatment </div> <div class="answer"> <p>Artists deserve equal access to royalties regardless of nationality.</p> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="main-background twitter scroll-reveal lazyload" style="background-image:inherit" data-bg-image="url('https://musicfirstcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/background_home.png')"> <div class="overlay"></div> <div class="background-txt"><img data-src="https://musicfirstcoalition.org/wp-content/themes/musicfirst/img/background_text.png" alt="" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" class="lazyload"></div> <div class="container"> <div class="twitter"> <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i> <h4>Spread the word</h4> <div class="tweet"> <p>I support<strong> #fairpay </strong>for all music creators</p> </div> <div class="overflow-hidden"> <div data-anim-dummy> <a class="share-twitter button style-4 m-t-7 m-b-2 grow-shadow" href="http://twitter.com/share?text=I support %23fairpay for all music creators&hashtags=fairpay, musicfirst&url=https://musicfirstcoalition.org/" target="_blank">TWEET THIS</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="solution"> <div class="container"> <div class="card"> <h6> The Solution </h6> <h3> Fairness for all Music Creators </h3> <p>Music has value and music creators should be fairly compensated for their work.
