A landmark win for fans! 👏 The @CouncilofDC unanimously passed the RESALE Act — capping resale prices, banning speculative ticket sales, requiring price transparency, and strengthening consumer protections.
Thanks to @CMCharlesAllen, the Council, and #FixTheTix advocates!

.@GeneSimmons just published a new @WSJ op-ed about how Europe is trying to take hundreds of millions of dollars from American artists. Only Congress can stop it by passing the American Music Fairness Act.

.@NABTweets is on Capitol Hill today lobbying against paying artists for radio. As the legendary @GeneSimmons put it last December, a $14 billion a year industry should be able to afford to pay artists something for using their music.

It’s happening: Next Tuesday, December 9th, the legendary @genesimmons will testify during a Senate hearing on the American Music Fairness Act. We need you to let Gene know you stand with him.

This Q&A with Rich Dejong and Tiara Guy isn’t just another workshop.
It’s your chance to finally understand what royalties you should be getting—and how to actually collect them.
Because missing this?
Could mean missing a check that already has your name on it.

Saddened at the passing of @SoulManSamMoore. Friend, Legend, Icon. Been honored to work alongside him fighting for artists’ rights (along with his awesome wife Joyce). We were blessed to know him. Thank you for the music and the soul. rollingstone.com/music/music…

Congress listened to the voices of artists! The end-of-year spending bill does NOT provide another mandate for Big Radio. It’s time for @NABTweets to come to the table and agree to pay artists for their music. #NoRadioWithoutRoyalties
