It’s just another protection racket. The money collected NEVER goes to the artist/songwriter. It’s just a fee to prevent being sued.

You are very correct.
For an artist to collect on the royalties that are apid, the artist has to join the organization (like Warner Bros). For a fee.

Are you telling me that every place that plays a song has to pay money? That is crazy. Pretty soon they will want money for people who still listen to the radio.

It goes to WB exec salaries and real estate. Too true. It is not about injury other than something they didn’t know they didn’t have.
