for the most part, with very few exceptions, this guy's chart and info are dead wrong. i worked 6 years for a company that handled royalty statements for digital download/streaming use and i'd say that the charts in this link here are a lot closer to reality:
http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2 ... rn-online/matter of fact, most online streaming music websites/providers don't even need to get the recording artist's permission in order to MAKE MONEY OFF OF SOMEONE ELSE'S MUSIC... they use a loophole in the laws regarding digital content and claim to be using a "compulsory license"... and in a nutshell they'll never pay you unless you accumulate $50 or more in royalties... at less than a penny a play, you'll have to be wildly famous and already making big bank in order to stack up that many plays... you would also need to have a publishing company affiliated with a society [such as ASCAP, BMI or SESAC in the USA] in order for them to even match your name to an address to send a check. right now there are companies that are getting rich by selling other people's music and never paying them... the amount of unpaid digital royalties out there is insane. these people are in the business of cashing in on other people's content and intentionally avoiding having to pay them for it
