gernb1: A couple of
corrections to that article, gernb. ASCAP does not collect money from airplay for artists. They collect the monies for distribution to their member writers and publishers. While occasionally they are also the recording artist, typically, artists receive nothing for airplay.

Until production costs of a recording are recouped by the SR holding label, artists receive NOTHING from anyone. The system being proposed will only benefit the "fat-cats" of the music business; the labels, the writers and the publishers.
