He could sing but he was not much of asongwriter, so he never saw a cent when most of his 300 or so singles were played onAmerican radio. He spent years fruitlessly lobbying Congress to change a 1909 royalties law,which requires radio broadcasters to pay composers but not performers. Broadcasters-a moreformidable lobby than artists or record labels-have long fought any change, arguing thatairtime gives singers free publicity. But this month the artists and labels have had somegood news. 弗兰克辛纳特拉知道自己受到的待遇不公正。他歌唱得好,但写歌不在行;因此,虽然他大约300首单曲中的大部分在美国广播电台播放,他却从来没拿到过一分钱。一项1909年的版权使用费法要求电台对歌曲作者付款,但不必对歌者付款。他多年游说国会修改这项法律,但毫无成效。广播公司的游说比艺术家或唱片公司更强大;他们长期以来反对对这项法律的任何修改,理由是广播免费宣传了歌唱家。但本月歌手与唱片公司终于听到了些好消息。 |
