Songwriters, music reps discuss property rights in Washington
NASHVILLE (AP) — Songwriters and music industry representatives are meeting in Washington, D.C., with U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn to discuss protection of intellectual property rights.
The Congressional Songwriters Caucus, which Blackburn chairs and founded in 2003, will have a round table discussion on Wednesday in the Rayburn House Office Building.
Blackburn said in a news release that conservatives who want to protect jobs and innovation in American must safeguard intellectual property rights.
Representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Recording Industry Association of America, Grammys on the Hill and the Nashville Songwriters Association International will participate.
