the royalties should go to the composer and the musicians, not to the publishers or the RIAA.
that being said, however, I kinda take issue with this comment:
"Mary Wilson, who with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard formed the original Supremes, said the exemption was unfair and forced older musicians to continue touring to pay their bills."
waaaaaah...you mean you have to keep working instead of sitting on your fat ass and resting on what you did decades ago? gee, I wish I could get me a deal like that. Hell, I'll be lucky to be able to retire by the time I'm 70. And I just about guarantee that Mary Wilson made more in the 5 to 10 years of the Supremes heyday than I will in my entire life, despite that being some 40 years ago.
