Thanks, Richard. Sometimes it's useful to launch a less informed position to stimulate a more informed one! Nonetheless, I do, from time to time get some minuscule payments from distant foreign lands, through Socan. How this comes to be, I know not. My obscurity is only exceeded by my unknown-ness.

Does someone versed in this field suggest how one might protect one-self in cross-border situations? The case of "Rum & Coca-Cola" leaps to mind.
