How does the Royalty Recovery collect revenues?
We collect revenues from many sources including record stores, restaurants, theatres, clubs, radio stations, hotels, Satellite radio services (XM and SIRIUS), Cable and Satellite TV transmissions, subscription services (DMX, Music Choice and Muzak, etc). All payments are split between performers and master owners. We also collect on blank audio levies and Private Copying, this was created to receive and re-distribute private copying tariff revenues. Manufacturers and importers of blank audio recording media are responsible for paying the private copying levy.
