Very courageous stand by Stevie to say this. He's absolutely right. The GMR royalties are unfair, especially to non-GMR co-writers. Imagine writing a song with a GMR writer, and knowing he will get paid more than you. I believe music has value, and I'm all for radio paying writers for the use of their music. But all songs should be paid equally, not based on who you write for. Radio stations negotiate with BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC for a fair price. But GMR has refused to negotiate, and is suing the non-profit group that assists radio in those negotiations. That's unfair. Thank you Stevie Wonder.
