+ paying the author(s) to create the content. IMO, this is
irrespective of the distribution media (paper, CD, 'Net download).
A book / music does not come out without an author. Their pay is an
implicit requirement.

from hearing the song when I am hearing...
Much of Music heard today has become popular just because, it was SHARED
FREE!!! (By Some media like Television..)
Broadcasters (TV, Radio, Internet Radio) do pay royalties.
Only Broadcasters Pay!!!
Not everyone who is listening!!!
Even if you point out that I am paying some amount as Cable Fee, in case of
TV, that is for all sevices in collection.
But, take the alternate media, FM Radio. Millions of people hear them while
walking, travelling, bathing, etc. But, No one Pays (Directly)!!
They just hear and walk.......
Thus, they hear the music since it is being shared and proceed on their own
way!!
Remember, they do not reproduce it !! (Except for Humming)
And, even those who download it, hear it!!! They are not reproducing it!
