Radio Ink reached out to Azoff’s organization to get a response to the RMLC’s latest motion. GMR says the motion is frivolous and a transparent attempt to create jurisdiction in Pennsylvania – a state where neither organization has offices or employees, where no GMR songwriters or publishers live, and where no relevant meetings ever took place.
Here’s more from the GMR response: “The RMLC’s latest motion is yet another waste of the court’s time and an attempt to bully songwriters into accepting below-market-rate payments for their music. GMR continues to freely offer interim licenses to radio stations; our attempt to offer licenses to stations based in Pennsylvania was rejected by the RMLC itself prior to the filing of this motion. We are confident the court will see through these baseless allegations.”
