Usually there are companies for problems like this. In germany we have
GEMA, in the USA e.g. ASCAP. Think brazil will have one of those too.
These companies usually find ways to get the money to their richest
members - without knowing each copy and each performance of a single song.

The levy is no "fair" solution to this problem, but one that might end
this war pretty soon.
