David Guetta makes tons of money just performing live, so "not going to be release commercially" feels like a cop-out... But then again, that's sort of how DJing works anyway. Would he have had to pay some sort of royalties had he just remixed one of Eminem's actual works on stage?
In which country is that true? In the UK for example venues need to be registered with the PRS (Performing Rights Society) but their fees are relatively low and the funds they collect are distributed based on surveys with the venues - once every year or two someone will come to the venue and ask them to write down the top 20 or so artists / tracks that they play. It's not very targeted or accurate.
Sorry, didn't mean to suggest it was target specifically to Eminem, just that some of the money would get to him via the general performance license. As far as I understand PRS is a common model.
