When a terrestrial radio station plays a song, how much does an artist get in royalties?
If a single radio station with an average of 100K listeners played a song 10 times, how much would an artist receive?
If Pandora hadn't played it a million times, how would his income from that song change? Would he have sold it more? Would terrestrial radio stations have played it more? How has his income stream from this song been affected by Pandora?
He thinks what he received is too low. Most people believe their work is undervalued. But in reality, what should a 20 year old song be worth?
