CLASSICS Act Compensating Legacy Artists for their Songs, Service, and Important Contributions to Society Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Compensating Legacy Artists for their Songs, Service, and Important Contributions to Society Act (CLASSICS Act), amends U.S. copyright law to provide federal protection for the digital audio transmission of sound recordings fixed before February 15, 1972. It establishes that unauthorized digital performance of these pre-1972 sound recordings is subject to the same remedies as copyright infringement, with some exceptions for transmissions that meet certain statutory licensing requirements or are covered by direct licensing agreements. The bill also preempts certain state law claims related to the digital transmission and reproduction of these pre-1972 sound recordings.
