Ben Sisario, New York Times; Sirius’s Move to Bypass a Royalty Payment Clearinghouse Causes an Uproar:
"SoundExchange, a nonprofit group, was founded in 2000 and is authorized by the United States Copyright Office to collect one kind of royalty for digital music.

(In a rule that has annoyed record companies and musicians for decades, terrestrial radio pays only songwriters and publishers.)"
