Lady Antebellum, Hanson Schmooze Lawmakers, Stump for Copyright Laws; U.S. News, 4/3/14

Tierney Sneed, U.S. News; Lady Antebellum, Hanson Schmooze Lawmakers, Stump for Copyright Laws:
"Neil Portnow, the president and CEO of the Recording Academy announced a new legislative initiative he and other reps from the music industries will be campaigning for during their advocacy day at the Capitol Thursday. Portnow proposed “a music omnibus bill” or a “MusicBus,” as he coined it during the event’s keynote speech. The bill he hopes to craft with lawmakers would strengthen the copyright laws across the music industry – unifying the interests of labels, publishers, performing rights organizations and others – in addition to piecemeal proposals that have been met by pushback from the National Association of Broadcasters."
