Roseanne Cash Among Those Expected To Testify

Roseanne Cash
Singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash is among those scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee today in Washington, D.C., on behalf of the Americana Music Association and songwriters, according to Country Weekly.

The issue at hand is music licensing, digital use rights and fair compensation for people who make music.

In her remarks, Rosanne will focus on the issues of revenues for streaming music, a sound recording performance license for artists, an update of rates paid to songwriters and protection on streaming sites for recordings that pre-date 1972.

Rosanne is also expected to mention her father, Johnny, who made an appearance before the same committee in 1997 when Internet downloading was still new.
