Re:Spotify Hit with $150M Class Action Over Unpaid Royalties by theodorton on Tuesday December 29, 2015 @05:35PM (#10809538)
Gramo and Tono, the Norwegian organizations, collect both a copyright fee and fees from public performance on behalf of performers and song writers. Copyright fees were historically 9 % of revenue from physical and digital copies sold, but I'm not sure it would apply to streaming. Public performance include broadcasting, concerts and playback in public places (shops, restaurants etc.)

EDIT: These organizations also collect and distribute from and to other countries.
