Parts of the music industry are so beyond corrupt there needs to be a new word. They have manufactured a business model to not pay songwriters and then passed a law making it legal to steal the money they did not pay them. Welcome to the #MMA (Music Modernization Act).

[Jeff Price @JPriceOfMusic]

All I want for Christmas is for the music industry not to have passed a law making it legal to steal songwriters money and give it those that did not earn it....

"It's the right thing to do." Comedian @Eddie_Brill has been a strong proponent of Word Collections' mission to get comedians paid for their original work.

Watch the full interview with Brill as he discusses his career "on both sides of the camera": https://t.co/lfDpR3svLA

Simply because you say the word "Hello" as opposed to sing the word "Hello" does not mean you have don't have the same rights. Despite their cultural impact, comedians and spoken word performers have been underpaid for the works that they have authored.

.@nmpaorg CEO @davidisraelite states "The issue of them licensing comedic performances is not regulated under law” Not correct. Under copyright law, comedians/spoken word performers have exact same & even better legal rights than musical songwriters https://t.co/8NqFqRxFoD 2/2

[Jeff Price @JPriceOfMusic]

Happy to have been interviewed by @NPR’s @marketplace today to discuss the ongoing controversy of comedians not being paid royalties by @spotify and others. However, the story got one BIG fact wrong. 1/2

NPR Marketplace piece on comedians getting paid. #NMPA CEO Isrealite makes factually false statements harming comedians. Comedian’s works, just like songwriters, must be licensed under US copyright regulations and law. see attached. https://t.co/dcYCXpgu81
