- California state legislators have called for a second hearing on record label accounting practices, tentatively scheduled for Sept. 24 in Los Angeles. State Sen. Martha Escutia, D-Norwalk, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said the second hearing is necessary because “a lot of serious questions were raised but were not answered.” There was an uproar between the Recording Industry Association of America and state legislators after the first committee hearing, which was held last month. The RIAA claimed that it did not have enough time to respond to such serious allegations as fraudulent accounting of artist royalties
and secret record club contracts.
