I'm I wrong in assuming that .07 cents per performance would imply >that once you streamed the song, you'd pay that fee once. Am I wrong? That fee is PER LISTENER. Assume you have a small station with only 100 listeners = 100 audio streams. That makes it $20.16 per day, $141.12 per week, $614.88 per month, $7,358.40 per year. Now assume that your station has reached a listenership equivalent to that of a college campus station. The number of listeners might be in the thousands, in which case the annual royalty could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Here are some figures I found on <http://doc.weblogs.com/2002/06/21>: >...a station with 2000 listeners playing 18 songs in an hour, at >0.07¢ ($0.0007) per song per listener per hour, woud pay $604.80 per >day, or $220,903.20 per year. > The math: > 18 x $.0007 = $.0126 per listener/hour > $.0126 x 2000 = $25.20 for 2000 listeners in an hour > $.31752 x 24 = $604.80 per day > $2.419655 x 365.25 = $220,903.20 per year -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
