No. Per diems help end the unfair expectation that songwriters should work for free during writing sessions. They do not change how royalties from music streaming are calculated or paid.

- Campaigning for long-term industry reform
- Pressuring Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) and publishers to improve songwriter and composer royalty rates.
