In addition to what's already been said, I might add that the new portion of the revenue under this plan will, in all likelihood, never reach the featured artists anyway. They must depend on the record company's good will to get paid and with "unrecouped expenses" and other contractual argle-bargle, I'm pretty sure the labels'd feel the money needn't be passed on. The music publishers, with their historic legislative and legal muscle, have never let the songwriter's royalties get anywhere near the record companies. Songwriters only need to keep an eye on the publisher!
