“This calculator illustrates statutory mechanical royalties for physical phonorecords and permanent downloads using published CRB rates. The optional 75% reduction is a physical-copy contract scenario only; it does not calculate streaming mechanicals, determine legal applicability, or replace review of 17 U.S.C. § 115(c)(2)(A), foreign rates, and the signed agreement.”
