The Recording Artists' Coalition in America is looking for artists to participate in a hearing before US Congress' Select Committee on the Entertainment Industry on the long running Royalty Accounting and Accountability Bill. As previously reported the bill, being crafted by Californian State Senator Kevin Murray, aims to force major entertainment companies, especially record labels, to be more open to artists on the sales of their music, enabling said artists to ensure they are getting all the royalties they are due. Despite various delays along the way, and a commitment by some in the industry to adopt such proposals anyway, the bill continues to work its way through the system. The latest hearing, at which the Coalition wants artists who have had issues with their label's financial reporting to speak, will take place on 8 Jun.
