The #BrennanBill introduces a right to equitable remuneration for performers. This would mean a guaranteed income stream for all musicians whose performances appear on streamed tracks. It's a key ask of the #FixStreaming campaign...
The #BrennanBill also includes measures that other countries already have in place to protect musicians and music creators from bad contracts, unfair payments, and a lack of transparency...
Our collective call to #FixStreaming has already won a @CommonsDCMS inquiry into the economics of music streaming, and a referral to @CMAgovUK.
Government's response makes it clear they are listening.
The #BrennanBill gives them an opportunity to act now...
Find out more, and ask your MP to vote for the #BrennanBill tomorrow morning
Thanks to cross-party MPs who have expressed support for the #BrennanBill and understand why we must #FixStreaming and get a fairer deal for musicians & music creators. We held an event in the House of Commons last night to promote the Bill which was very well attended.- NP
We are angry and alarmed at reports that our own elected representatives chose to turn down an EU offer of visa-free touring by British musicians, after reassurances that our £101.5bn #CreativeArts and £5.8bn #MusicIndustry were a priority.
The Culture Minister must urgently confirm one way or another whether it was the UK Government that blocked the deal which would have granted UK musicians easy access to #EuropeanUnion states for #touring.
Earlier this year, songwriters, composers and performers started sharing how little they got from streaming – while big music companies raked in billions #BrokenRecord...
A final question in the first session on the impact of Brexit on music. Maria Forte says "Brexit is bad for musicians if there's no deal and if there's a deal then who knows". @kwamekwaten agrees: "as there is currently no deal I can only see it being bad". #WorkingintheEU
Today we will hear from @nilerodgers@sowetokinch & @fionabevan about why the song should receive more than 10-15% of streaming revenue and how the economics of music streaming aren't working for many musicians. We can #fixstreaming! - NP
