Recently we\u00a0found an excellent visual aid to help you follow the money, and we want to share it with you.<\/p>\n<p>As you probably already\u00a0know, broadcasters are\u00a0responsible for their content, as well as\u00a0any and all\u00a0royalties that need to be paid on their stream. If you are a customer of Backbone, you have seen this laid out in the <a href=\"http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/terms-of-service\/\">Backbone Networks Terms of Service<\/a>, where section 2 lists the station&#8217;s responsibilities. Chief among them\u00a0is that\u00a0the broadcaster must have or must\u00a0secure the rights to the content that they are broadcasting. \u00a0In other words, you must own the content or you must get a license to broadcast it, especially to stream it.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s assume that you have secured those rights either with a direct license or a statutory license. Where do the Internet radio royalty payments go? <a href=\"http:\/\/futureofmusic.org\/\">The Future of Music Coalition<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/online.berklee.edu\/\">Berklee College of Music<\/a> have put together a great infographic on how this works.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_124247\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/moneyflow.radio_.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-124247\" class=\"wp-image-124247 \" src=\"http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/moneyflow.radio_-798x1024.png\" alt=\"royalty-flow-radio\" width=\"666\" height=\"855\" srcset=\"http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/moneyflow.radio_-798x1024.png 798w, http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/moneyflow.radio_-234x300.png 234w, http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/moneyflow.radio_-78x100.png 78w, http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/moneyflow.radio_.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-124247\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Royalty Flow for non-interactive Internet Radio<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As you can see, terrestrial radio broadcasters are not required to pay royalty payments for performances, but\u00a0non-interactive Internet radio broadcasters are.
