Objectives

MFM and the music community must collaborate and act collectively in order to fight unfair pay especially by the the digital service providers, such as Spotify and YouTube.

MFM supports political actions leading to the amendment of the “Safe Harbor” provision (section 512) of the DMCA.

And it backs the American Music Fairness Act which demands musicians getting paid for AM/FM radio airplay.

Further details of these campaigns as well as announcements of official MFM action in this regard, will be forthcoming.

Work out a general agreement for performing musicians.

Improve the member portal and expand MFM’s online magazine  DooBeeDooBeeDoo NY to promote our members

Contact NYC’s “musician-friendly” venues and discuss a guaranteed performance agreement.

Invite the VIP (1%) musicians to our organization to advocate #UnityInTheMusicCommunity and #MakingMusicIsAProfession.

Help members become familiar with the inner workings of the music business, including the digital / Internet world.

Form alliances with the AFM and other musician support organizations and support them in their endeavors.

Reach out to politicians who care for musicians rights.
