  1. I work in the industry as engineer, i can write an MLC parser if you need one ;) We literally have entire teams who's only job is to identify the song and artist being claimed. Not if they get paid, how much, when or even how; just properly identifying you and your track. Remember, the exact same sound recording can appear on multiple works over time (greatest hits, compilation, movie soundtrack, etc), that have different rights owners at different points in time. Thats completely ignoring performers, which is distinct from rights owners. Also keep in mind that if it is 'on demand' or not actually matters. Non-interactive digital, i.e. Sirrius/Pandora charges differently than youtube or spotify. And that's the 'easy' short version, once you go international it gets extra stupid.
