Music Licensing Fees Act

The act governs the licensing of music and the collection of royalties for its use, regulating how licensing rights are offered to and negotiated with those who pay for them. It sets requirements for the negotiation process and for the terms a royalty contract must contain, and it identifies licensing practices that are prohibited. Compliance is backed by investigative authority and by remedies that include injunctive relief and that operate in addition to, rather than in place of, other remedies otherwise available, with specified exceptions to the act's coverage.
