Mission Statement
The organization is dedicated to free educational services concerning human rights and freedom of speech for the American music community. When necessary, the organization may gather information and hold various public events for the purpose of ending human rights abuse in music.
The long-term goal is a well-informed music community with enough fundamental information to protect the moral and material interests of their own musical creations, as well as to protect their personal and professional lives.
About
Why Human Right #27?
Artists in music have dealt with human rights abuse for more than 100 years.
Abuse of songwriters and musicians usually deals with illegal trafficking of stolen artistic products.
Often enough, the abuse also includes illegal use of the artists’ namesake or reputation.
Abuse of the creative minds in music often spreads into insidious pressures wrought by business-minded people against the family members of artists, or the use of the press to disrupt artists’ personal lives.
At the center of everything is a multi-billion-dollar industry that has never been protected in the artists’ defense against theft and abuse, strictly-speaking.
Human Right #27 For Songwriters, Performers, and Musicians is an organization focused upon the human rights that the United Nations spoke of as important above anything else. The 27th Human Right says everything about what is missing from music’s business dealings:
Human Right #27:
1. Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
2. Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author.
With its double-edged approach, Human Right #27 For Songwriters, Performers, and Musicians is doing its part to address fundamental human rights abuses within the music industry.
(a) ERADICATION of documented abuses. Dismantling 2018’s “Music Modernization Act” is the organization’s most important target. This federal law illegally permits streaming services to sell access to every conceivable music file, anywhere—regardless of American copyright law.
(b) FREE EDUCATION concerning essential human rights provided to every person dealing in the American music industry. This education is primarily intended for songwriters, musicians, producers, performers, plus any additional artist who creates intellectual products in music.
