if you are a DJ understand us songwriters are the people behind those hits you spinning. Radio station is not paying licensing fees to ASCAP or BMI robbering the songwriters and publishing. This not the white people the Performance Rights Act put pressure on Station to pay the licensing fee ASCAP and BMI went to congress about the issue. Obama adminstraction didn't have nothing to do with this blame ASCAP and BMI.
Whoever a songwriter register with ASCAP or BMI your time have come to get paid. So many people don't understand the Performance Rights Act this bill is a blessing for songwriters across the nation whose love being creative. All radio one stations are registered with ASCAP which means they are getting off our music and don't want to pay us a dime. 50 Cent record could receives 5,000 credit which are known as spins ASCAP then splits that 50% with the songwriter and the publisher. Every radio station have to pays a license fee of $3.50 to ASCAP per credit/spin. Radio One made over $15 Million in revenue last year in their radio division the numbers on their site is wrong. This bill put pressure on all radio station to pay the $3.50 to ASCAP for each spin RADIO ONE don't want to pay ASCAP nothing for songwriter or the publishing company. When they get paid for spinning the radio the only industry the pays is television. Listen out the $8.00 per spin the radio station is recieving. Avoid those service announcements from Catherine Hughes whose the CEO of Radio ONE, Inc. cause she don't want to loss money. Its not and black or white don't believe it black radio been stealing for years the other parent companies in the radio industry don't mind. Performance Right Act is not tax bill that goes to the government. Obtaining this money is ASCAP or BMI to pay the songwriter and the publishing company who register their song.
No new taxes on radio.
The radio stations would suffer, falter, and eventually fail if this legilation passes. Deejays have been foot soldiers, co-laborers in the civil rights movement. They have helped to draw the masses and call the into action. Before there were Blacks on tv tv, the radio was the voice of a disenfranchaised people. We must fight this bill now!
