Work-Artist relationship: Credit group vs band members as writer/composer/lyricist

[jesus2099]

Additionally to the problem where they expand band to members for their own specific purpose, royalty databases will also replace actual writers by PD/DP public domain once the work royalties expire.
They would also credit real names instead of pen-names sometimes.

@jesus2099

The royalty collector browsable databases (ISWCnet, JASRAC, SACEM, etc.) just need to know which physical person to send royalties to.
This way they would expand band names to each band members even if it does make much sense, composition and lyrics wise.
They would also list several names of the same person, sometimes.
They would also list real names instead of artist names or, even worse, instead of some pen names.
They would list Public Domain (D.P.) instead of artists, once the delay has expired.

All that is good for them, they are not artist intent driven, they have a different purpose as us.
But it’s NO GOOD for us.
