The campaign formerly known as "The Fair Pay To Play Campaign" preemptively struck a blow against tangentially tonsilated tonguetwisters by voting to change the name to Fair Trade Music.
This preemptively relinquished the catchy slogan "Fair pay to Play - easier to do than it is to say."
Steering committee members felt that the name made the intention clearer, was easier to say, and removed the association with the infamously antithetical phenomenon known as "pay to play," wherein bands (or deep-pocketed promoters) aren't just paid squat - they're actually expected to pay venues for the privilege of playing.
