It is not a simple structure. Performance is what you hear when a song is playing; A big section of law to digest. Writer and publisher are handled more hands on - think Big Record Label is publisher of physical media for example. Writer is the guy that sells bands words and such. There is a block of law for them.
So, the band that performs the sheet music may not Own it. Big Record Label just wants to double dip, % per play & % to all performance AKA License. Basic thing is the catalogue owners want to treat streams like Radio Broadcasts - less payola.
I'm just painting a picture here. Best to read the copyright law. I never said I was giving legal advice, not that clever with words
I thought this was a social media thing. Oops, all the folks at the top are the usual players; newspaper/magazine, booze, scratch Hollywood\'s back, and the marketing guys.
OMG, it is a wall plaque mill just waiting to be hung. I mean award-the-award-with-a-award. Please send money. (close opinion of (REDACTED) state of those in the award business.
I have stood on a soapbox at a couple family gatherings stressing the point that once this service gets DNA the data base is theirs. All the we came to Virginia on (some boat - some better than others) or the coastal tribes married into Irish tobacco sharecroppers would it be cool to know for sure - it's painless.
Well, there are many levels of painless; the service is taking DNA to build a structure, make money off it, and it has no reason to expect the customer of the test to get anything but a colorful chart of everyone's mutt status for a $99 fee. Yeah, correct my typo -- 100 bucks is small change in the DNA biz but the ancestry guys are just building law enforcement tools. Johns Hopkins, U of Maryland and Pharmacogenomics research (read as patents) do the cool work.
I was told it's no big deal by some relatives who are usually clever at slight of hand tactics. Advertising campaign worked - Send DNA --> get report --> forget all about it by winter.
If, I wanted a DNA screen I would march over to University of Doing Stuff That Matters. A bit tough to research and pay for (edit: medical research trials can be free but not often). TANSTAFL
