Re: Secretly, the MPAA likes this
said by wasanon  :I recall that the MPAA and RIAA are supposedly required or volunteering to turn over the funds they collect to the author or owner of the copywrited materials (IF, and only IF, the copywrite owner applies to receive them.). In theory these actions should not become a profit source for them, but instead for the copywrite owners. The MPAA and RIAA are the copywrite owners as they are the record labels.... Not the artists. The RIAA collects something like 50 cents or something like that per song per fan base count from a radio station. And I remember seeing a RIAA statement that the money from songs on Radio does not go the artists at all. They said their songs playing on the radio is more than fair and adiquate compensation for the singers/bands.

| Some royalties from radio play (and CD sales) go to the song writers which aren't necessarily the musicians that recorded the song.
The money isn't in being in a band, it's in writing songs. Now if you are a band member who also gets writing credits, then you get the best of it all. You get paid for your initial recording of the album, paid to tour, and paid royalties based on sales and radio play.
