Petition to Change the Statute of Limitations for Claiming Music Royalties
The Issue
Music royalties are nebulous and confusing, and majority of musicians don't understand them. It doesn't make sense to put a time limit on claiming the money that your music made. There’s a time limit on collecting money you didn’t know you had. The statute of limitations to claim your music royalties is only three years, and we are trying to change this federal law. This petition is meant to show our friends in congress that musicians deserve a better chance to collect their money. I don’t like signing petitions ether but this is some bullshit and we can change it, all we need are numbers. Thanks for your time and consideration! Please share this!
