Broadcast Electric Field Radio Station Strength

Besides buying live performance tickets and recordings, the public can support music in two ways, through royalties that are paid by radio stations and music venues, and by government and private donations to musical institutions.

The Performance Rights Act

The Performance Rights Act (PRA) is legislation that has not been federally enacted although eleven states, including New York and Nevada, have compensations similar to the PRA.

To some extent, a recording becomes public property the second it hits the air. This was true even before the advent of digital recordings and piracy. American musicians are not paid for the radio airtime of their songs. The PRA was drafted to help musicians receive fair compensation for the work that has been contributed and is continually used. The PRA is a system that awards musicians flat royalties. Many musicians believe that the PRA is necessary for artists. Broadcasters and music venues see the PRA as a tax that is unfairly aimed at just them. Advocates of the act argue that the levy is adjusted on a sliding scale; broadcasters and venues that play more have to pay more.
