MUSIC and performance artistes have been denied their dues while the long-standing problem of royalty payments is now the subject of an anti-corruption probe because too many entities want a finger in the same pie, Malaysian Artistes’ Association (Karyawan) president Freddie Fernandez said.
Different companies have been set up to handle music royalties but end up disputing each other, while the better solution is to have one entity handling collection and payment to artistes, composers and recording companies, he said.
