Music Modernization Act Events


The Music Modernization Act (MMA) requires the Copyright Office to engage in public outreach and educational activities to inform the public about the changes in the law, including the mechanical licensing collective’s responsibilities, how a copyright owner may claim ownership of musical works (and shares of such works), and how unmatched royalties will be equitably distributed to known copyright owners and songwriters. Below are just some of the events we have spoken at to educate the music community.
