Compensating Legacy Artists for their Songs, Service, and Important Contributions to Society Act or the CLASSICS Act This bill provides federal copyright protection for sound recordings fixed before February 15, 1972, specifically the right to make digital transmissions. Currently, pre-1972 recordings are only covered by state law. Pre-1972 recordings will fall within the existing compulsory license system for digital transmissions, which currently only cover post-1972 recordings. The bill preempts claims under state and common law for digital transmission of pre-1972 recordings.

This bill, while containing several worthwhile proposals, should not be mistaken for what is needed. The FIRST STEP Act is not sentencing reform, and the concern -- a very valid concern -that enactment of this legislation will allow some lawmakers to say that they have addressed our nations problem of over-incarceration leads the NAACP to oppose this legislation. While we understand the temptation to support legislation that endeavors to reform our prison system, we believe that this particular bill would do more harm than good and would have unintended consequences that ripple into the future.
