How the Music Modernization Act will help artists get paid more from streaming
Congress recently passed the Music Modernization Act, which is a rare bill in modern American politics: everyone seems to like it! The MMA, as it’s called, was celebrated by musicians, streaming services, record labels, and consumer groups alike. It simplifies how streaming services pay songwriters, changes how the law deals with music recorded before 1972, and helps producers collect more royalties.
I’m naturally distrustful of something everyone agrees is a good thing, so I called on Meredith Rose from Public Knowledge to explain the MMA — and the insanely tricky problem of music licensing and streaming — to me. It’s a complicated conversation, but stick with it: Meredith knows her shit, and you’ll gain an appreciation for just how…

The electric car is here — if you’ve got the money
The annual parade of the world’s biggest auto shows is about to start this week in Paris, and for what really feels like the first time, a number of carmakers are finalizing, building, selling, or even nearing the delivery of their first flagship electric cars. And these aren’t just concepts, or camouflaged pre-production cars like we’ve seen in the past. EVs from big-name luxury brands like Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW are on the way, meaning incumbents in the space, like Tesla, will soon have lots of direct competition.
