Thread Name: Serious BS: HFA/NMPA Round 2
Subject: RE: Serious BS: HFA/NMPA Round 2
In my wildest dreams, I imagine someone from HFA/NMPA, who is as civil as A Publisher, calling Max and saying, "Sorry, we got off on the wrong foot, but most people we've dealt with so far have been uncooperative." Then they would get together to identify the songs HFA/NMPA object to being in the database. After this, they can sort out the specifics on individual songs. This would only happen in the real world if HFA/NMPA were more interested in resolving the issue as easily as possible rather than as dramatically.

My next wildest dream has Max saying something along the lines of "We wish to cooperate, and would have from the beginning, if you had indicated that cooperation rather than opposition was what you expected and desired. What do you really want?"

In any case, there's no way in hell anyone (most of all Max) has time to go through the thousands of songs and separate the PD from non-PD ones to compile a list of titles.
