Regarding the proposed petition to the Copyright Royalty Judges to
institute a sliding scale reimbursement for artists to redistribute
top-40 windfall royalties to new, emerging, and small artists so as to
support the demand for the larger number of gainfully employed
recording, performing, and writing artists prior to the introduction
of mass consumer copying technologies, please see below.
Is there any reason these proposals should not be made part of the
Best Case Scenarios for Copyright?
