Arts North Carolina had the privilege to be back at @thepourhouse for a press conference with @repdeborahross to discuss The Protect Working Musicians Act (PWMA).

This Act “empowers artists by allowing them a market-based path to protect and be compensated for their work when large digital platforms and AI companies use it. The bill provides a narrowly tailored antitrust safe harbor so that sole-proprietor musicians can band together to negotiate fair licensing terms.” - protectworkingmusicians.org Thank you to Representative Ross for your support of this act and of musicians throughout North Carolina!
