Haley as Songwriter

This seems to like it might prove to be the most significant factor:

Additionally, the CRB removed the Total Content Cost (TCC) cap, which the NMPA says will ‘give publishers the benefit of a true percentage of what labels are able to negotiate in the free market resulting in significantly higher royalties for songwriters’.

The CRB also increased the TCC rate resulting in the most balance between record label and publishing rates in the history of US mechanical licensing.

“CRUCIALLY, THE DECISION ALSO ALLOWS SONGWRITERS TO BENEFIT FROM DEALS DONE BY RECORD LABELS IN THE FREE MARKET. The ratio of what labels are paid by the services versus what publishers are paid has significantly improved, resulting in the most favorable balance in the history of the industry.”

This is an interesting comment on the article:

Geeez still along way from what I would even call fair! It's not that hard guys, streaming is the problem by any measure, giving our music away for pennies on the dollar and in most cases less then a penny, if everyone had to pay us 50% of all revenue taken in for our songs streamed not only is that fair, but would also encourage millions of listeners to buy the song out right for .99 cents give or take a quarter. Raise the streaming cost up and you will raise record sales up, now that is fair in any market!
