But you see, the thing is with commercial music is that the music owner is not a single entity. There is a composer, if there are lyrics there is a lyricist, if it was translated then there is a translator, if it’s a cover or remix there is an arranger, there is a publisher that published the music, there might be a sub-publisher, then there is a record label… One of the main reasons behind the existence of this complex system of rights is the complex ownership structure of the copyright and related rights.
- notatoad 9y agoIsn't this the reason vevo exists? youtube pays a single royalty based on playback and leaves it to the uploader to split it up between all the interested parties.
- DrJokepu 9y agoYes, that’s a common arrangement.

Great example, but you don't always have to split everything up 100 different ways, either. There is commercial music in almost every genre owned entirely by the songwriter/composer/artist.
