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.
Songs carry 200% royalties, 100% for writing and 100% for publishing.

Video are published on a video channel at YouTube. one outlet. Not on 400 radio stations. The vid creators are paid for youtube views, i.e. publication. Not for writing.
