David Israelite attends the 2020 Billboard Power List Event at NeueHouse Hollywood on Jan. 23, 2020 in Los Angeles.
Israelite also pointed out the industry was forced to respond to California’s AB5 law, which was enacted to try and protect gig economy workers. The other thing the RIAA is monitoring closely is the situation with the Copyright Office’s Section 512 study. This is an important issue, says Glazier, because when the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was written in the 1990s, it offered immunity to services for copyright infringement claims as long as those services protected against copyright theft by promptly removing or blocking access to pirated content.
The Copyright Office study took five years and points out flaws in the system and the need to rebalance it, Glazier said, adding, “We are hopeful that this [study] will help push a successful, responsible, and accountable ecosystem going forward.” He added the new company has expanded from two employees to just about 20 staffers, and soon it hopes to be able to roll out portals so that creators and copyright owners can double check to ensure that songs in the database have the correct metadata.
