It might help you understand if you knew that the licensing issue here isn't to distribute the money to the artists themselves, but to distribute the money in the form of pensions for buskers when they retire (and for any other French citizen who claims they made the bulk of their income during their working years playing music.)

A thought which in principle I find quite nice. France seems to me, from my limited knowledge of its infrastructure, to be a heady combination of Good Ideas and Bad Execution.
