Thread Name: PRS Performing Rights Gestapo
Subject: RE: PRS Performing Rights Gestapo
I think that any music used for reward of some kind ought to have remuneration for the writers, however, as with another thread about Dylan, I get hacked off with people laying claim to traditional tunes and lyrics and copywriting them, as for PRS, if the money was distributed to the correct people then good on them but it isn't and is a bloody bare faced scam. I have no problems in providing lists of songs at gigs and giving a percentage of the earnings, after expenses, 10% of next to F. A. is sweet F.A., to shift the burden onto venues is another nail in the coffin of live music in small venues, shall I rabbit on, nah, where's me coat!
