No. This is a subtle difference but a very important one. In the US, the performance right on broadcast radio is not collected at all. The publishing rights are collected on.
That's really not the same thing as "publishers take all the money".
- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoYes, what you've written about broadcast vs. publishing rights on the radio is correct, but what I wrote "In the US a performer still receives nothing when the song is played on the radio, all the royalties go to the writers" is still 100% correct (I made no mention about the source of the rights), so I'm not sure why you started your comment with "No."
