In analog broadcasting, royalties are paid only for the composition
(music, lyrics, and arrangement) and not the performance.  (This dates
back to an earlier era when most music on the radio was performed
live; the performers received payment for their work at the time of
performance, but the composers were not involved in the production and
so demanded royalties.)
