In courtrooms across America, the trend of prosecutors using artists' creative expression against them is happening with troubling frequency. Today, Warner Music Group joined together with an unprecedented group of artists, industry leaders and legal experts to publish an open letter in The New York Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution calling attention to the racially discriminatory practice of treating rap lyrics as confessions.

With artists such as Camila Cabello, Coldplay, Drake, Future, J. Cole, Jack Harlow, John Legend, Lil Baby, Mary J. Blige, Meek Mill, Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, Roddy Ricch, and Travis Scott; companies including WMG, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group, BMG, Kobalt, AEG Presents, Audiomack, Deezer, Live Nation Entertainment, SiriusXM, SoundCloud, Spotify, TIDAL, TikTok, and YouTube Music; orgs like A2IM, American Civil Liberties Union, Color of Change, PEN America, Recording Academy, and RIAA; and scholars from Columbia, Harvard, Howard, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale – the letter urges prosecutors to voluntarily end this practice in their jurisdictions and encourages legislators at the state and federal level to explicitly limit how creative expression can be used against defendants on trial.

Today progress was made in the fight for fair songwriter compensation. The CRB ruled in favor of songwriters and is standing by its original 15.1% headline rate from streaming services.

But our work is not over yet.

The trial for the proceeding known as Phono IV will begin, where the CRB will set the streaming rates for the next five years. We join our songwriting community in the fight for an increase of at least 20%. Spread the word & use your voice. Without songwriters, there would be no music business or streaming services at all.
