The Artists Coalition, an artists’ advocacy group led by Don Henley and Sheryl Crow, reached an agreement Thursday with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the dispute over the recently enacted “works made for hire” law (an amendment to the 1976 Copyright Act). The law allows record companies to maintain ownership of an artist’s recorded works for 95 years instead of the previous 35-year limit. The RIAA has agreed to join with the artists in petitioning Congress to repeal the law. – Live Daily
