1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,040
In this case, everybody came to the table
and said, I may not get everything I want,

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,800
but this is the 99 percent that we’re
getting is far better than the zero percent

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:10,920
we'd get if we didn’t have it.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:19,850
I think the MMA is an example as most pieces
of legislation are, of legislation which all

5
00:00:19,850 --> 00:00:24,939
the, most, in this case, all the people that
something, all the people involved got something

6
00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:28,560
they wanted and they didn’t get every, not
everybody got everything they wanted.

7
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:32,380
But everybody came out better than without
it.

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,460
I remember thinking this will never get solved.

9
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:40,820
This is just such an impenetrable thicket
of conflicting interests and groups, so it

10
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:45,560
was such a relief to me when we finally got
the Music Modernization Act signed into law

11
00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:46,360
last year.

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,900
It took a huge amount of work by a very wide
range of stakeholders.

13
00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:54,620
And frankly, I was thrilled at the outcome, and
it was only possible with real compromise

14
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:55,920
and some hard work.
