But with this election over things may get a lot better in the music business. Geronimo! With lobbyists already chomping at the bit to get richly paid by the big companies - I'm not holding my breath for all my ASCAP & BMI friends. My guess is, those companies will now run amok all over copyright and those Consent Decrees that are strangling ASCAP & BMI. Already reading articles with high powered lobbyists who expect that the new president elect will allow them to lobby harder than ever before to the highest priced bidder. Without limits. Add that to the fact that the one person, Maria Pallante, that was truly championing copyright for the songwriters has also been ousted from her position at the Register of Copyrights by the Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and its looking pretty grim as Marc states.
