I'm a law student analyzing the bill as well and I second Nashvillian's comment. The time has come to repair the disparate treatment of performers. No one complains when the radio stations have to pay the songwriters or composers to play their music. The fact that performers get promotion from the radio stations doesn't mean that we should deprive them of their right to their own work! Radio is a $6 billion industry that has gotten away with not paying for the music they play for too long!
