Performance Royalties

Royalties collected when a composition is broadcast (e.g. on the radio) or publicly performed (e.g. live in concert or over the speakers at a nightclub). Performance royalties are collected by performing rights organizations such as ASCAP in the U.S., and by PROs or collective management organizations, such as SACEM in France.
