From Billboard
Kanye West will join President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday for the Music Modernization Act (MMA) signing, sources tell Billboard, as the monumental music legislation becomes law.
The MMA is a multifaceted bill forged by compromises throughout the music industry that creates a blanket mechanical license and a centralized system to administer it, while changing some considerations used in setting music publishing rates. It also compels digital and satellite radio to pay royalties on pre-1972 master recordings to labels and artists and codifies the procedure by which SoundExchange can pay producers and engineers royalties for the records it works on.
