Prof. Cotter Discusses Music Licensing on KSTP TV5 News

Professor Tom Cotter was interviewed by KSTP TV5 News for a segment entitled "Cover Band Classics Prompt Costly Copyright Claims Against Minn. Bars." Cotter spoke on the question of whether restaurants and bars are required to pay copyright licensing fees when bands perform music at their venues. He states that "copyright law ensures artists get paid for what they create—license fees paid by bars turn into royalties paid to musicians and songwriters."
