DAVID ISRAELITE, PHARRELL WILLIAMS, MARTIN BANDIER, STEVE BOOM, YOKO ONO KICK-OFF NMPA’S CENTENNIAL MEETING
At today’s National Music Publishers' Association Centennial Annual Meeting in New York, which always falls the day before the annual Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony, NMPA CEO David Israelite said the organization’s number one goal is to get the music publishing out from under government regulation by getting rid of compulsory licensing. The only way for that to happen, he said, is if music publishers step up to the plate and help make licensing easier for services.
