Quickshots - The Living Wage for Musicians Act | 2ShotsMusicPod EP: QS7

A (kinda) Quickshot about the Living Wage for Musicians Act: a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Jamaal Bowman, in conjunction with United Musicians and Allied Workers.

Who's behind it?

How does it work?

How might it affect music fans and DSPs (streamers)?

"By creating a new streaming royalty, the bill would help ensure that artists and musicians can build sustainable careers in the digital age"
