You're thinking of the statutory Mechanical Royalty, which is paid for producing
a copy of a previously published work. Two cents was the old rate.
Here's how
the Harry Fox
Agency describes it:
The current statutory mechanical royalty
rate for physical recordings (such as CDs) and permanent digital downloads is
9.1¢ for recordings of a song 5 minutes or less, and 1.75¢ per minute or
fraction thereof for those over 5 minutes. This is then multiplied by the number
of recordings you wish to make.
This is not the same as the
license(s) involved in radio or Internet broadcast, background music, or use in
movies or theatrical productions. There are a lot of different licenses imagined
by royalty organizations. --DonW[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

1000000*2¢ = $20000
But that's sort of misleading since a radio broadcast will have more than a
single listener. If we assume an average of 1000 listeners for a radio
broadcast, we are actually talking about $20 of royalties that would be
appropriate in comparison for 1000000 downloads.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
