The intent of recording artist royalties is to describe in detail how music artists and songwriters receive payment for their creative works through the sale of physical music (CDs, Vinyl records, etc.), sale of music digitally (iTunes, Amazon, etc.), streaming services (Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, etc.), broadcasting (FM radio, AM radio, etc.), use in TV shows and movies, and in performances. Commonly artists have deals with record labels for distribution and marketing who receive much of the profit along with the artist, the songwriter, and the distributor or service the audio is bought from. - WClarke (talk) 04:44, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The name of this article is currently recording artist royalties. It could possibly be named music royalties, though that may be too general as the focus/direction of this article is how music artists receive pay and controversies surrounding how much they are paid in a neutral way. Though this article should outline music royalties in general, I feel the focus is artist compensation for use of creative works rather than solely from a business standpoint regarding record labels and companies, even though those aspects are important to the article. There might be a better title that is worded better, and there are also redirects that need to be made when this article draft is finished. Does anyone else have a different opinion or comment on the focus/direction along with the naming of the article? - WClarke (talk) 04:44, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
