The majors pay RIAA chief Mitch Bainwol $1.5 million a year, but music policy in the US seems mostly rudderless. ISPs are getting away with murder, radio stations seem to be winning the fight against performance royalties on recordings, and anti-piracy seems like a punchline.
But this discussion goes beyond the majors, and affects smaller labels and artists as well. And, at some point, the majors will have an even smaller voice on the Hill. But where should the emerging industry focus its policy initiatives? That will be explored in Washington in early October at the Future of Music Summit, a focused symposium that currently counts participation from Topspin Media head Ian Rogers, T-Bone Burnett, and OK Go frontman Damien Kulash.
These discussions are typically a bit wonky, though the participation of "Outside the Beltway" voices like Rogers will probably help to offer some balance. Those attending the Georgetown University affair will also be treated to supersessions, networking mixers, concerts, and even film screenings. The event is being coordinated by the Future of Music Coalition.

It is ridiculous the amount of money paid to the RIAA.
Look folks, the cats are out of the bag, and they aren't ever going back. Deal with it, and move on. Find another industry to control. Maybe.. landscaping?

After Grace Potter & the Nocturnals breakthrough success with the previous album, her label Hollywood Records has done a spectacular job of marketing her new CD featuring the single Paris Oh La La for mass exposure! Grace is getting rave reviews for her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's TV show and our indie radio promotion friend Jesse Barnett is helping build strong airplay in the Triple A radio format! It takes a team to bring home a deserving artist and this is how its done. Radio, TV, Press... and Internet. Just like it ever was.
