Streaming music users would pay a new monthly fee to help pay artists.
Streaming music users would pay a new monthly fee, between $4 and $10. This money, along with some of streaming companies' other revenue, would go into a new fund. This fund would then pay featured and non-featured artists based on how often their songs are streamed.
Today, there is no federal fund specifically for compensating musical artists based on streaming, and streaming services do not charge a dedicated "living wage royalty fee." If this bill becomes law, music streaming subscribers would pay an extra $4 to $10 per month. Streaming companies would also contribute 10 percent of their non-subscription revenue to a new fund. This fund would then pay eligible featured artists 90 percent of its money and eligible non-featured artists 10 percent, based on their song streams.
