one thing youtube don't do, along with most other websites, is have a required field in the upload process for 'writer'. so if joe bloggs makes a cover of my song it will say, 'the violin by joe bloggs'

this is wrong. a 'composer' box would make uploaders stop and think, as well as help to promote the value of writers to people viewing the site.

I've asked prs to look into it.
