Both receive royalties. Copyright law provides that an owner of a sound recording (Aretha Franklin, in this case) has the exclusive right to perform such works by means of digital audio transmission. Carole King, as the composer/author always has the exclusive right of public performance, no matter which medium the song is played on or through.?
