The Senate Unanimously Approves Music Modernization Act

WASHINGTON D.C. (CelebrityAccess) — In a rare show of bipartisanship on Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to approve the Orrin G. Hatch Music Modernization Act, passing the first sweeping reform of U.S. copyright law in almost a quarter century.

In addition to the full-throated support of elected representatives in both the House and Senate, the bill also received wide support from the industry, with figures such as Paul McCartney and Kay Perry advocating for its passage.
