I am the owner of a record company here in Finland, and eal mainly
with Irish and Scottish compilation C.D.s.
I try to make sure that all my returns to collection agencies are
correct, but on several of these recordings one song appears
regularly, I know the writer of this song and my dilemma is, do I pay
the publisher, knowing that the writer will receive nothing, or pay
direct to the writer, a substanstial sum, and risk the wrath of a
publishing company I know to be corrupt.
The law tells me what is the correct way, my heart tells me
otherwise, I like your site, which seems to have people who know
about these things.
Greetings from Helsinki,

Jaan.
