"It’s all about streaming and we were created to make streaming royalties work for all creators," said @rtconlon at Tuesday’s #AIMPSummit. Thanks, @AIMPorg, for providing us with an opportunity to share how we’re turning data into accurate revenue for creators.

Sat down with @HannahJKarp & @billboardlatin yesterday to discuss why Latin music is all the rage right now. Mostly because the music is awesome, they are spilling into other genres & they’re more embedded in the tech part and digital part of the industry. bit.ly/2Zy4VfJ

This surprised me: there’s more carbon in soil than in the atmosphere and all plant life combined. Here’s what that means for how we fight climate change: b-gat.es/2WyOwoX

thank you @HelgaTruepel for your tireless support for the creative community in Europe and around the world! #irespectmusic
"For me it's very clear. It's about good licensing agreements to pay all authors fairly in a proportionate manner...It's about European self-esteem, it's about our way of life and giving good rules to digital cultural capital" @HelgaTruepel addresses attendees #Yes2copyright

It’s a historic day! Dr. Hayden, the 1st woman & African American Librarian of Congress, just appointed Karyn Temple as Register of Copyrights, the 1st POC & African American woman to hold the position in its 100+ year history. Congrats to Karyn Temple, well deserved!

Michelle and I send our condolences to the people of New Zealand. We grieve with you and the Muslim community. All of us must stand against hatred in all its forms.

One of the biggest challenges publishers & songwriters face is knowing how their work has been used. This new tool from SoundExchange’s @CMRRA addresses that problem by allowing them to search and get paid for unmatched uses of their material. billboard.com/articles/busin…

Don’t be sad it’s over, be proud it taught us so much. Congrats to all the men and women of @NASA on a @MarsRovers mission that beat all expectations, inspired a new generation of Americans, and demands we keep investing in science that pushes the boundaries of human knowledge.
