Cluin makes a very valid point that should not be disregarded.
Most on this forum are not to benefit from SOCAN collections. Even if the royalty is collected from your music it is paid out on a formula based on air play.
Many Mudcatters are no doubt, fine singers and songwriters, but how much air play do they get. Radio is crap because all it will play is crap and the royalties from our fine performers will end up in the pocket of those who produce this crap.
The courts of the land don't give a shit about the little guy. This is all about more money for those who already have more than enough.
