- Small indie labels - and artists thereon - are entirely cut out of the terrestrial royalty pie because they lack leverage to land such a deal
- Artists on those labels with enough clout to negotiate broadcaster deals do not get a fair share because direct deals preserve the scheme under which major labels’ foreign offices collect BOTH the American artist and label shares (since these deals will not unlock reciprocity with foreign performance royalty societies)
- Labels are very unlikely to split with artists all of the different kinds of compensation they receive from broadcasters - especially non-cash consideration such as equity stakes and promotional airtime, which is basically payola to benefit new artists at the cost of catalog artists
- What labels share with artists will be subject to recoupment (i.e., unrecouped artists will receive nothing, whereas payments from Sound Exchange are not subject to recoupment)
