@northmusicgroup Abby North's testimony has now been published in full by Creative Industries News (with her approval!): creativeindustriesnews.com/2023/06/abby-n…

It was a true honor to be invited to be a witness at this field hearing. Our Representatives asked great questions and are clearly so motivated to protect songwriters, artists and their rights.

@RichLightShed Could Zaslav be even worse than Bob Chapek? Bean counters who do not understand the creative side of their business should not be in this line of business. If you have any doubts, look at what Zaslav did at Discovery. And he is doing the same at WBD.

$WBD — cutting costs not as simple as it looks in a creative biz Multiple management teams have struggled with what to do with TCM

@DavidIsraelite @LiveNation @AEGworldwide @bmi Maybe they should factor in that in most European countries (where they do operate) the rates for live music are in the region of 5 to 8%. US rates are nowhere near European rates. Let that sink in. And BTW they do pay SACEM, GEMA, etc. So this is just hypocritical.

Not a surprise, but disappointing, that @LiveNation @AEGworldwide and NACPA appealed the @bmi victory in rate court that would require live concert venues to pay songwriters and music publishers more. Props to Mike O’Neill and BMI for continuing this fight for fairer rates.

@NMPAorg and 17 publishers are suing @Twitter in Tennessee for copyright infringement over hundreds of songs. NMPA invited their members to tweet @elonmusk and ask him to #payformusic...

@synopsi I suspect his name is David Zaslav, and he is doing to HBO what he did at Discovery, which is to belittle everything he touches...

This a crime and should be punished as such. What idiot approved HBO, one of the most recognized and beloved brands, to be renamed to Max? And why nobody stopped them?
