How Sound Exchange Works
Dina LaPolt, an entertainment lawyer based in Los Angeles, CA, explains what Sound Exchange is, and how that organization handles payment to artists of public performance royalties generated by digital play (streaming, webcasts, internet radio). She also compares this situation, created by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1995, to how terrestrial radio operates, and to the public performance royalty structures in place in the rest of the developed world.
