Protecting Artists in a Changing Music Industry

Getting paid for your music has never been simple. And as the industry has moved from radio to satellite and streaming, it's only gotten more complicated. Now artificial intelligence is raising new questions about who controls an artist's work and who gets paid when it's used. SoundExchange President and CEO Michael Huppe joins the podcast to explain how his organization has distributed more than $13 billion in digital royalties to over 850,000 music creators, the threat of AI to divert royalties away from human artists and why the American Music Fairness Act could change how performers are compensated for radio airplay. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.
