Wow. That is very neat! Can anyone confirm that it's the same here in
the states?

Actually the performer should register performances and set lists so
that composers get the appropriate royalties for their work being
used. A side benifit to this that most musicians don't seem to be
aware of, is that if you do this you'll get royalties for performing
your own music as well as the other composers
Or at least that's the way it works here in Canada
