Impactful Policy Frameworks
Music Modernization Act (MMA), 2018
The Music Modernization Act (MMA) streamlines music licensing for digital music providers, creating a collective to administer mechanical rights and establishing a consistent royalty rate standard.
The MMA modernizes music licensing for digital services, impacting Billboard by requiring updates to chart methodologies and royalty tracking to reflect new licensing structures.
Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) Streaming Royalty Rate Settlements
The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) determines royalty rates for streaming services, with recent settlements impacting how streaming revenue is distributed to artists and rights holders.
These settlements change how royalties are distributed, requiring Billboard to adjust how it reports on artist earnings and industry revenue streams.
State Data Privacy Laws (e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act - CCPA)
State-level data privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), grant consumers more control over their personal data, including the right to access, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their information.
These laws impact how data is collected and used for marketing and analytics, which may change Billboard's advertising strategies and user data practices.
