I'd bet it may be historical and leads to another question: why do radio's pay per "performance" and TV networks up front for rights?

Do radios even pay? I thought terrestrial radio just paid for a license and did whatever the heck they wanted.

Or, I think they basically get a percentage of whatever the license fee is, based on how often the songs are played.

I think the difference is that the radio playing a song is 1 performance. 10 people streaming music is "10" plays, so the accounting is different.

But is it so different from me hitting play in Netflix? It’s that the two payment models are so completely different that is weird. They’re both creative works streamed into my home. Music artists complain about rates a lot, but I don’t hear about complaints for being on Netflix

Oh, I completely agree they aren't any different and it is super weird. I was more wondering how these 2 models evolved. The current music streaming model seems fundamentally broken.
