'The DMCA has shown its age. It’s a relic of a MySpace era in a TikTok world.'- The Eagles' Don Henley
-- the band’s co-founder, drummer, and singer -- delivered a special live-via-video performance for a particularly important audience: The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property.
The first issue you were known for being active on was the effort by the labels to have recordings considered"works for hire" -- which I think was the origin of the Recording Artists Coalition. How important was the coalition in stopping that? And you learn anything from it? Since you’re talking about filing"notices of termination" to reclaim rights to your work in the U.S., the natural next question is whether you’ve done this.
I've been speaking out about it for years because it’s a fundamental matter of fairness. The DMCA is an outdated piece of legislation that was written when the Internet was still in its infancy, at least in terms of public use. The legislators who drafted the DMCA, including its ‘safe harbor’ provision, had good intentions, but the Internet is a very different animal now, and the law has not kept up with the technology.
There’s so much going on, that it seems odd that Congress is holding these hearings right now. Did that give you pause? Instead, they sent the head of something called the Internet Association, a lobbying group that claims to be"the voice of the internet economy," but is simply a front for its funders, which include Google, Amazon and Facebook. He delivered the same, tired party line -- the old, vague rhetoric about innovation and collaboration. Innovation for what purpose, exactly? Collaboration with whom? When it comes to music theft, we haven’t seen any collaboration.
Any time you speak out on these issues, you open yourself up for criticism: Here’s another rich rock star who wants more money. Does that bother you?
