The article posted is about a large group of (currently) very successful songwriters who have signed a pact. They are calling attention to the fact that performers, or their representatives, are demanding/asking for co-writing credit without contributing one line, one note of music, to the final product. The Pact has no issue with a performer who wants to actually collaborate and provide creative input to a song to get credit. The media has highlighted this recently as a wait and see what happens. That Rolling Stone, Billboard and others have taken notice might mean little to nothing, or is the beginning of a small shift in how writers are treated.
