Music Orgs Seek U.S. Intervention as Europe Floats Rolling Back Radio Royalties for American Artists

American music organizations are rallying for U.S. intervention as Europe contemplates a policy change that could reduce royalties for American artists playing on European radio stations. The Recording Academy and SoundExchange argue this new proposal would unfairly favor local artists over their U.S. counterparts, embedding a form of discrimination into European law. This move could significantly impact how much American musicians earn from their work being broadcasted across the continent, raising concerns about fair compensation and global music industry standards.
