"It should have happened 60 years ago when it was brought to the attention of Congress in the Senate by Frank Sinatra and, for whatever reason, they feigned that they did not understand or did not know that we were not being paid, which is completely insane." Check who's lining the pockets of Congress. The explanation for the inaction will become clear.

This morning was the first time ever that I looked up a celebrity net worth and discover a negative number. She is bankrupt at -$10.2 million and needs that royalties safety net.

They play your music on the radio. If you are popular you sell lots of records and people want you for concerts. That’s how it always worked. If your music is old and/or unpopular in later life, you should have saved the money you made when you were popular.

L.a. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. how quck they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

I may be on my own here, but I think that’s a little greedy of her. Playing her music on the radio is basically free advertising.

Recording artists get robbed. If this continues... talented people will decide to do something else to make a living and we will be left with a bunch of mediocre leftist celebrities producing garbage.

Blame Sony and others.
The Turtles (Flo and Eddie) had a lawsuit going because rates to artists of the 1960s were far less that for more contemporary acts and Sony “settled” with Big Media for a poorer settlement and blew the pre-existing “Turtles” case out of the water. IIRC it gave Big Media another 5 years of the different rates.

Simple economics. For every band/performer who gets signed, there are thousands who don’t.
The record companies hold all the cards, you want a contract, you sign over your publishing rights, take it or leave it, we’ve got a thousand other acts that sound just like you.
