Nine More Lawmakers Express Opposition To RIAA's Performance Fee
Nine additional lawmakers have signed on to a bipartisan U.S. House of Representatives resolution opposing the introduction of "any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge" on local radio stations. The growing chorus of support for The Local Radio Freedom Act now stands at 135, and follows an interview by Radio Ink's Brida Connolly in which country music star Brad Paisley talks of the impact radio stations have made on his music career. During the interview, Paisley expressed his appreciation for radio and discusses his relationships within the radio industry. "I have so many friends out there," wrote Paisley. "I think back over the years now, and it's amazing how much of my life has been impacted by radio people." The Local Radio Freedom Act, unveiled last month at a Capitol Hill event hosted by the Free Radio Alliance, was introduced by Reps. Gene Green (D-TX) and Mike Conaway (R-TX). "Congress should not impose any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge relating to the public performance of sound recordings on a local radio station for broadcasting sound recordings over-the-air, or on any business for such public performance of sound recordings," reads H. Con. Res. 49. The House resolution counters legislation backed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which would require local radio stations to pay a new fee for music aired free to listeners.
