That determination, which impacts non-interactive, programmed plays on digital radio like Pandora and iHeartRadio, set inflation-adjusted rates at $.0026 per paid subscription stream, up from $0.0024 cents. For ad-supported streams, the CRB set a rate of $0.0021, up from $0.0018 per play. These payments from digital radio, webcasters and simulcasters are made to SoundExchange, which in turn distributes royalties to labels and recording artists.
Around the same time as the adjusted rates were set, various participants in the Web V proceedings appealed certain aspects of the initial rate determination. They included the National Association of Broadcasters , which sought lower rates than the determination; and SoundExchange, which sought higher rates for commercial non-subscription, ad-supported services than the determination; and the National Religious Broadcasters Music License Committee.
In a statement, SoundExchange said: “We appreciate the court’s thoughtful attention to our appeal regarding royalty rate-setting methodology, and we are pleased that the appeals court rejected broadcasters’ efforts to reduce royalty rates at the expense of hard-working artists and creators and preserved the status quo for webcasting rates through 2025.”
