What this stream is. Payment for NON-interactive play of the recording — satellite radio, webcasting. In the US this is SoundExchange, and it is nobody else's job.

 Worth knowing about DistroKid - "Keep 100%" describes the MASTER side only. The publishing side is a separate paid product, and Content ID income is shared.
- With no PRO affiliation, your songwriter performance share is collected by nobody — not by DistroKid, and not automatically by anyone else.
