Musicians support California bill to cap recording contracts at 7 years

A coalition of advocacy groups representing musicians and entertainers voiced their support for a new California state bill that seeks to limit the length of contracts for recording artists to seven years, Billboard reports. The FAIR Act would remove a damages provision that commonly discourages artists from leaving record deals after seven years if they have undelivered albums, even though they are legally permitted.
