Luna Guitars has announced its support of the Music Modernization Act (MMA) in effort to stand with fellow songwriters, stating that “songwriters endure the same stress as any one working in the music industry and should be permitted to reap the benefits from songs they contribute too, especially hit songs, streamed on any digital devices in the modern-era.”
“Songwriting in itself is an art form that is evolving with technology and should be rewarded as such,” said Adam Gomes, director of Marketing & Artist Relations for Luna Guitars. “Veteran songwriters have dealt with certain restrictions for years and we should be welcoming the next generation of writers by offering a brighter future with more incentives.”
Currently, the Music Modernization Act is an attempt to overhaul current music copyright law by updating licensing and royalty rules for songwriters and artists. The legislation has passed in the House and heads to the Senate next.
