Do marching bands pay royalties for the songs they use? If not, why don't they pay royalties?
Interesting. Are there any exceptions to the rules of royalties and music performance?
Yes, there are some exceptions. For example, some countries have blanket licenses that allow venues to play music without having to track down each individual song's publisher and pay royalties. Also, there are some cases where artists will donate the royalty income from their songs to charity or organizations they support, so there wouldn't be a need for royalties to be paid.
