Washington - The Future of Music Coalition (FMC), a non-profit organization that works to educate and advocate for greater digital rights for musicians, has released a set of "Principles for Musician Compensation in New Business Models." Among other things, the principles say that artists should have the right to audit how revenues from their works are handled by record labels; and that labels and copyright owners should only garner a cut of artists' revenues for three years after a recording is released.
