Professor Rex Glensy discusses the potential effect radio performance royalties could have on record contracts in "Recording Artists and Radio Stations Fight Over Royalties, Air Play and Spin," an article in the June 13, 2010, Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Director of the Earle Mack School of Law's Intellectual Property Program and a former entertainment lawyer, Glensy states that changes to copyright will affect multiple areas of business, with record companies potentially wanting to renegotiate contracts with performers.
