Icecast dev - Jun 2015 - question on Icecast & licenses

Hello.
Did anyone who launched Icecast server for his own radiostation acquired
any licenses for playing music from artists or labels (sound recording
companies)? Or you just pay royalties?
For ex., if you play some track of F.Goya, do you get some licenses from
him on his track or his label?

Thanks
Konstantin

This is not Icecast development related, but it does have some relevance
to Icecast listener data logging. You might like to read:
