1 year agoHere is an article that talks about how artists get paid for radio play. Not sure why you’d think they do not. The basics are:
- Radio acquires a blanket license(s) from its local PRO(s)
- A song is played on a radio, and the airplay is reported to a PRO
- The PRO distributes royalties and songwriter gets paid
The songwriter is paid the royalties due
Agreed. What people don’t realize is that if they were to actually follow those recommendations, then oil companies wouldn’t be responsible for as much pollution. We can say it’s the corporations that are doing it, but it’s all of us that are keeping these corporations in business and buying the products that pollute. If we all took personal responsibility, the corporations 'level of output would decline. This is ALL about personal responsibility and it is infuriating to watch people say “well it’s the corporations” all the time.
