Or how much US terrestrial radio stations pay in performer royalties: a big fat nothing. Stations pay composer/songwriter royalties, but performers get zilch.

  Again, this is not copyright's fault. This is the decision the artist makes when signing away the rights. If they don't want the airplay, don't sell to a record label that puts things on the air. Believe it or not, the radio stations don't play things without permission. Heck, most artists actually pay for the airtime.
