Summary
The Protect Working Musicians Act of 2026 creates an antitrust safe harbor allowing independent music creators who own their copyrights to collectively negotiate licensing terms with dominant online music distribution platforms and AI companies. The bill defines eligible creators as those earning less than $1 million annually in licensing revenues and exempts their collective negotiations from antitrust liability, provided negotiations are nondiscriminatory and not limited solely to price. The safe harbor is intended to address what the bill characterizes as a power imbalance in which independent creators lack resources to negotiate fair rates with large platforms.
