Summary
The Protect Working Musicians Act of 2026 creates an antitrust safe harbor allowing independent music creators and songwriters to collectively negotiate licensing terms with dominant online music distribution platforms and AI companies. The bill exempts these collective negotiations from antitrust liability if they are nondiscriminatory, not limited solely to price, and involve only independent creators and the platforms themselves. The legislation aims to address what Congress characterizes as a power imbalance in which large streaming platforms dictate unfavorable licensing terms to individual creators who lack resources to negotiate separately.
