Modernizing legacy music contracts in the music industry primarily refers to efforts to update outdated agreements, particularly concerning copyright and royalty distribution in the digital age. A significant development in this area is the Music Modernization Act (MMA) in the United States, signed into law in 2018¹. This legislation aimed to address issues such as royalty payments for pre-1972 sound recordings and the licensing of musical works for digital streaming services². The goal is to ensure fair compensation for creators in the evolving music landscape.
