Question

Every time an artist’s song is streamed, the songwriter receives 75% of the cost.

True or False?

Answer 1

These royalties are paid by record companies or companies responsible for the manufacturing. In the U.S., the amount owed to the songwriter is $0.091 per reproduction of a song. Outside the U.S. the royalty rate is around 8 percent to 10 percent, but varies by country.
