If the performers actually received the money from the royalty it would be one thing. The royalty is paid to the owner of the "master recording" ie the record label. It is then up them to decide if the performer/artist gets it. If record labels already make it difficult for artist to get paid by album sales, who says they won't make it difficult for artists to receive their share of the "performers royalty."
