Songwriters & Publishers Beware: The Controlled Composition Clause

Overview Under U.S. Copyright law, Congress established a statutory mechanical royalty rate for songwriters and their publishers based on an upward-sliding scale tied to a cost-of-living index on a per song per record basis. In the wake of Congress amending the Copyright law last session to allow for performance rights for digital transmissions, the time is right when Congress reconvenes for lobbying efforts by songwriter organizations and publisher groups to bring attention to the 3/4 rate issue and the need to clarify certain ambiguities in the copyright law so as to better protect songwriters and their publishing rights.
