Trump Signs Music Modernization Act Into Law

President Donald Trump signed the unanimously passed Music Modernization Act into law Thursday. “Certain entertainers have been taken advantage of, but no longer. Because of Trump -- can you believe it?” he said. Bill author Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., attended the signing ceremony, along with musician Kid Rock. The bill “will improve the lives of songwriters, recording artists, producers, sound engineers, and just about everyone who works in the music industry,” Hatch said. NAB and several others applauded. MMA "ends old arguments of the past and moves the entire industry forward together into a brighter, better streaming future,” said Digital Media Association CEO Chris Harrison.
