Maybe I am missing something here, but it seems that musicians want a
licence that allows their product to be streamed, but not synchronized
unless a royalty payment is received. I'll grant that they probably
don't want (insert nationwide radio station that plays in 5000 markets
with 1 DJ pretending to be a local inhabitant of all of those markets,
and runs 100 commercials an hour) playing their music.
If that is the case, then writing a brand new licence just for audio
is called for.
