Who verifies that royalties are being paid correctly?

271 views

For things like songs and TV shows where people are paid each time it is played or aired, who is verifying the number of times it’s played? What’s to stop the people who have to pay for royalties from just claiming it was played 5 times instead of 10? How does this work with a company like Netflix that doesn’t release their streaming numbers?

Royalties is just a form of contract. And for any contract, each party keeps an eye out on the other.

So if an artist feels they aren’t receiving the appropriate royalties then they can sue the other person. And then each side would be responsible for providing evidence for their side.
