1)Which perform right organisation do you recommend if you sing in English and are based between Belgium and France? 2)How much does a song get paid every time it had been played a) live in a gig? b)on the radio? c)on Spotify?
I don't know the PROs for Europe, have a Google! Okay, so it differs based on audience size: a) 3% of the ticket sales is sent the the prs in the uk b) anywhere for a few pence to a few pound per minute c) about £0.0003 per stream
So, how does this apply to local music? Like I have been in my local music community in the US for a couple years and I have seen many bands that have pretty small fan bases play popular covers and I'm almost positive they do not pay royalties to the songwriter. So is it more of a game that just the larger you get, the more likely if you play a cover without taking the initiative to pay songwriters you will get fined for not paying live royalties, or something else I'm missing?
You made something complex quite simple, nice:)
Really useful video. Thank you a ton

It's entirely the responsibility of the venues to report this to the PROs so you don't need to worry as an artist!
