Royalties and Copyrights
Friday, June 12th, 2009By: Denise Werkley
Copyright rights have long stirred debate and as downloads from the Internet become the everyday norm, actors, composers, musicians, and others in the performing arts are still trying to find a balance that works for everyone. Certain groups think composers especially will be double-dipping if they get a royalty for a digital download, while others believe that composers are missing out when a film is downloaded (without payment to them) with their music in it. See this article for a discussion about the debate.
