In music industry, if you make a cover of a song, you will need to pay around 50% of royalty income to author of original song.
But if you make a video by using currently most popular video platform, which is youtube, income always goes 100% to audio creator.
Shouldn't video creators get some percentage too?
As audio is only 50% of created work.
I'v seen many times where a good video raised a popularity of some song, therefore i think video creators deserve some percentage.
Plus, this would also allow creation of job of "music festival reporter" , which at the moment does not have any way to monetize it unless you work for magazine.
