Do bands get paid every time their song is played on the radio?

Songwriters who don't foolishly sell of all legal rights to their music get paid based on an estimated radio playrate found via survey. The exact amount paid will depend on your contracts and which music play pay monitoring company you are affiliated with.

Do you have to pay royalties to play music like Mozart or Beethoven on the radio?

Yes. If you are running an online radio station, you still have to pay royalties for classical music - for the performers. If you had recordings from before 1924 or so, they might be in the public domain. But even though the music was written long ago, the performances were done recently.


Do music artists get paid every time you listen to there song on Spotify?

Yes. But only if you're a member of PRS [Performing Rights Society] or the other one, which escapes my memory. Every radio station must fill out a form listing which pieces of music they have played. Similarly, concert venues. And they then have to pay the PRS, who then distribute the monies.


Is it illegal to download muisc?

no p2p downloading is legal, downloading someone else purchased CDs is legal. Legal downloading is when you purchase the music but, remember just because you have purchased the music does not mean you can share it. Off the air recordings from the radio, TV is legal providing you do not sell them. Recording movies or music from cable is legal also providing you do not sell them. Can you share the movies and music you record from cable, the answer is yes. Is it legal to record off the internet from a radio station, I would believe that it would be but not yet approved or not approved.

What do music producers do to get their music played?

They pay radio stations to play the music line ups the producers want.AnswerPaying cash to play music on the radio is called payola. There was a big legal battle in the 1950s and people went to jail for that. It is illegal to do that, but some think it goes on.I think it mostly has to do with who they know and they call all the time to ask their friends to promote their music. I think they party together and do favors and get people backstage at shows and meet celebrities and stuff like that.
