The first hearings on the controversial Internet Radio Fairness Act will be broadcast live today at 11:30 AM ET. Witnesses include producer Jimmy Jam, former eMusic CEO David Pakman, and representatives of Pandora, SoundExchange and the broadcast industry.

The Act would, at least temporarily, lower payments to artists and labels from net broadcasters like Pandora. Opponents believe it's unfair to creaters, while supporters believe it will spur innovation and eventually higher payments. **BROADCAST DETAILS:**  

**Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet**

Hearing: "Music Licensing Part One: Legislation in the 112th Congress"
