Royalties are rolled into the price of anything you buy from iTunes, so your songs are safe for your personal use.
This is all about streaming services, essentially Internet radio.
I am a former Sirius XM subscriber, and they have always had a royalty surcharge (which is never included in their advertised monthly rates). I found that objectionable since it isn’t based on what I specifically listened to (much of which was public domain, or not music at all).
The Sirius XM decision, and any follow-on decisions will merely raise the cost of such services.
I bought 2 new vehicles in the past 2 or so years. Each came with 6 months free Sirius packages with the radio. I’ve listened for a total of perhaps 20 minutes. Not interested I’ll put on Rush some afternoons but after that I keep a 600 or so, song flash drive plugged in and plan on downloading another few thousand songs to flash drives. I have a loaded IPod and IPhone so I can plug in my tunes anywhere
