Brian, I'd be interested to know where you got your information that Senator Rubio opposes the Internet Radio Freedom Act. It certainly didn't come from his boilerplate response to Ben Willis' inquiry. And there was never a vote on the bill which would have pinned him down on his position. Have you got a source or is that just a knee jerk defense of a Republican politician?

The National Labor Relations Act governs collective bargaining rights for workers so I have no idea what you're talking about when you say IRFA would have banned collective bargaining rights for songwriters. I suspect you're firing from the hip again. I haven't paid much attention to IRFA, but it's my understanding that a copyright commission or board meets every 5 years or so to set the copyright payment rates.

I don't have a strong opinion on IRFA one way or the other. Just because Jody, you or NSAI assert the bill is bad for songwriters doesn't mean it necessarily is so. Propaganda doesn't move me. Especially political propaganda. If someone can show me specifics where it will hurt songwriters, then we can have a rational discussion about it. Until then, I'm not on the bandwagon.

Write from your heart, not what you think others want to hear.
