Advancing American Freedom led an amicus brief with 18 other amici in National Religious Broadcasters Noncommercial Music License Committee v. Copyright Royalty Board in which the National Religious Broadcasters are asking the Supreme Court to hear their challenge of the Copyright Royalty Board’s decision to impose a higher fee on religious broadcasters than on National Public Radio.
“Under the First Amendment, the government cannot force religious broadcasters to pay more for the same license than secular or government broadcasters,” said J. Marc Wheat, AAF General Counsel. “The Supreme Court should take up this case and rule for National Religious Broadcasters to protect the rights of all Americans to the Free Exercise of their religious convictions and their Freedom of Association.”
