I'll write up a much more detailed post later. But I basically want to point out that radio stations already pay (and pay quite a bit) to play artists on
the radio. If SoundExchange (the collection agency) fails to pay the artists, then the solution should be: SoundExchange needs to be reformed. Not: lets jack
up the prices
An important thing to note: SoundExchange will collect royalties for your performances regardless if you are a member or not. They (in theory) will distribute
them to you regardless if you are a member or not. I do not have any personal experience on the distribution end, but I know that my college radio
station's operating budget was mainly dedicated to SoundExchange fees.
