Washington
- The U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday voted 21 to 9 to approve the
Performance Rights Act, a bill that would compel radio broadcasters to begin to
pay performers, in addition to the already-compensated songwriters, for the
right to play their songs on the air. While radio stations in the U.S. currently do not pay performers and record
labels when songs are played on-air, stations in Europe and elsewhere do, as do
satellite, cable and Internet broadcasters in the U.S.
