Abstract
In the United States, when an artist’s sound recording or track is played by a servicer like Pandora or satellite radio, a digital public performance royalty for the sound recording is collected by the organization, SoundExchange, or it may be negotiated between the parties via direct licenses. These non-terrestrial broadcast platforms perform in a non-interactive manner (i.e. the platform picks the tracks for the consumer to listen to) as opposed to in an interactive manner (i.e. listener picks the track) by a platform such as Spotify or Apple Music.
