What are the immediate financial implications for the music industry if the American Music Fairness Act passes, and how would it change the current system of royalty payments?

More than 300 recording artists, including major names like Aerosmith and Mariah Carey, are urging Congress to pass the American Music Fairness Act, which would mandate terrestrial radio stations to pay royalties for playing their music. They claim that radio stations profit billions annually from advertising revenue generated by their music without compensating them. This bill seeks to create a new revenue stream for performers, addressing a perceived injustice.
