FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 24, 2006 NMPA Applauds Senate Efforts to Deter Piracy on College Campuses Washington, DC – National Music Publishers’ Association President and Chief Executive Officer David M. Israelite today praised efforts by the U.S. Senate to deter the illegal swapping of music and movies on college campuses.

They are stealing from the men and women who have worked so hard to create the songs fans love.” About the NMPA The National Music Publishers’ Association is committed to promoting and advancing the interests of music publishers and their songwriting partners.
