For music streaming, I previously mentioned that there were agreements between those who want to stream music, the societies and creators. In fact, you can't record streamed music with some of these services. The consumer, or user, only listens to the music. The proposed models operate on the basis of either subscriptions or advertising. Users retain no copies on their devices under some of these models. The royalties are paid to creators by the person offering the service.
On February 3rd, 2011. See this statement in context.
