Senate passes Music Modernization Act
400+ The Verge by Dani Deahl / 2h // keep unread // hide

The US Senate has approved the Music Modernization Act of 2018, S.2334, with unanimous consent, bringing the first reform for music licensing in 20 years on the cusp of becoming law. The companion version in the House previously passed in April, also with unanimous consent. The bill now must be reconsidered by the House and then ultimately signed by President Trump. Both of those are likely to happen, so the Senate was the last major hurdle.

Although the Music Modernization Act was overwhelmingly supported by artists, songwriters, and every other corner of the music industry (and many government officials), it met opposition this summer. Blackstone Group, whose mechanical licensing company Harry Fox Agency stands to be greatly impacted by the MMA, as well as Sirius XM and Music Choice pushed back against the bill. While issues with the Blackstone Group found resolution, the dispute with Sirius XM and Music Choice was still very much at the forefront. Sirius XM objected to a portion of the bill called the CLASSICS Act, which makes them legally responsible to pay songwriters and artists royalties on pre-1972 recordings.

Now that it has passed the Senate, the bill has been renamed the Orrin G. Hatch Music Modernization Act after Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), a songwriter himself who was a strong advocate for the MMA and called it “crucially important.”

While many other things are happening on Capitol Hill this week, the Senate just passed the landmark #MusicModernizationAct, which @SenAlexander graciously renamed the Orrin G Hatch Music Modernization Act.

The bill revamps Section 115 of the U.S. Copyright Act, combining three major pieces of legislation:

• The Music Modernization Act, which streamlines the music licensing process to make it easier for rights holders to get paid when their music is streamed online.
• The CLASSICS Act (Compensating Legacy Artists for their Songs, Service, & Important Contributions to Society Act) for pre-1972 recordings.
• The AMP Act (or Allocation for Music Producers Act), which improves royalty payouts for producers and engineers from SoundExchange when their recordings are used on satellite and online radio. Notably, this is the first time producers have ever been mentioned in copyright law.

Mitch Glazier, the president of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), said in a statement: “As legendary band the Grateful Dead once said in an iconic pre-1972 song, ‘what a long strange trip it’s been.’ It’s been an epic odyssey, and we’re thrilled to almost be at our destination.

“For the modern U.S. Senate to unanimously pass a 185-page bill is a herculean feat, only achievable because of the grit, determination and mobilization of thousands of music creators across the nation. The result is a bill that moves us toward a modern music licensing landscape better founded on fair market rates and fair pay for all. At long last, a brighter tomorrow for both past and future generations of music creators is nearly upon us. We are indebted to the leadership of Senators Hatch, Grassley, Feinstein, Alexander, Coons, Kennedy and Whitehouse for helping get us there.”

由于大公司掌控和推广的流行音乐经典音乐，本身有版权保护。他们会受益。但是很有限。
真正受益的将是草根原创音乐。因为有了利润的激励，有了润滑油。相信音乐圈将迎来小公司甚至代理甚至个人发行的年代。流行音乐随着盗版越来越容易，传播越来越轻松，面临电子化，口水话，深度创新枯竭的窘境。
此法案将使得草根原创得到应有的回报。相信会遏制网络时代流行音乐口水化的趋势。也许原创大爆发的时代就要来了。

我的看法比较悲观，AI发展势头这么猛，在不久的将来会从各个方位超越人类的现有水平，在音乐上瞬间产生无数种排列组合对AI根本不算什么，而渺小的人类靠着吸食毒品才产生那么一点点灵感，创新枯竭的原因不是没有天才的创意，而是越来越缺乏训练有素的欣赏者，SO SAD....

版主这眼光比较超前！的确随着大数据计算能力的迅速翻翻。一切都有可能。使用大数据揭示流行音乐的规律，最终用于创作，完全可能。
所以，我个人现在只玩原创音乐（歌曲主旋律，歌词)外加纯粹的即兴SOLO。在玩即兴SOLO的时候，绝对不走谱，也就是说，SOLO完全是个人即兴风格。

电子编曲，和电子创作想在即兴段落里模仿人类，可以说，是不可能的。

同样，绘画也是一样，未经训练的原创能力，尤其是草根的原创，不经过培训的个人特色，才是未来。

这主意好，没有谱，看机器咋模仿和学习。其实AI的音乐创作能力目前还是很有限的，人的情感世界永远是个谜，我们自己都弄不清楚，机器人还是玩属于机器情感范畴的东东吧。

两位说的正是现代原创音乐的两个侧面，其实是三个侧面。三体吗。：）

有感而出歌。此为原创基本理念，有感而歌不需要灵感，你就是灵感，你就是歌。林子说的算是一体。本真

脱离了这个基础，就进入到为写歌而写，这时候，人才需要灵感，因为，无感了吗。所以用毒品刺激灵感，这就是版主所述的原创的毒品状态。这一阶段，是原创失去灵魂，以取悦听众为先的最终状态。现代流行音乐的另一体。丧尸。

取悦听众之后必然推动流行乐工业化生产。也就是很多现代电子流行乐的根本缺陷，音乐被为重新定义为信息产品。这个趋势，最终将被推向极致，也就是AI辅助，甚至AI主创的音乐。AI完全可以把工业化流行音乐做得比人更好！因为讨好大众，哪个个体人类能比得过拥有大数据和神经网络的AI？这就是第三体。matrix。

音乐将在这三者间做不规则不可预测的天体运动。哈哈。回归了三体。
