Oct 2, 2009 6:37 PM - If all the money goes into one fund, will artists who only had a few downloads get paid the same amount of money as artists with many, many downloads? -
Answer it! Oct 12, 2009 2:39 PM - Under this Act, are artists paid based on the number of times that a song is played? Based on the number of stations that play their music? Based on simply holding a copyright in general? basically, what determines when/how much a performer is payed? Please provide a specific source if you know of one. Maybe it's in the statute and I missed it. -
