Michael Huppe is president-CEO of SoundExchange, a non-profit rights- management organization that provides products and services to collect royalties for more than 650,000 artists, labels and publishers.’ annual convention in Las Vegas this past week, the organization celebrated 100 years of representing big broadcasters’ interests in Washington, D.C.
This mistreatment comes as a surprise to most people, and it’s easy to understand why. In every other industrialized and democratic nation in the world, artists are paid for the use of their work on terrestrial radio. The same is true for every other platform in the U.S., where laws around streaming on the internet, satellite, and cable recognize the value that artists bring. The failure to compensate artists for AM/FM airplay is unique to the U.S.
This large lobbying spend has been funded by radio’s jaw-dropping revenue over the last century, which amounts to an estimated $700 billion — of which the artists received exactly zero.
