So Mr McCartney gets the bucks from the millions of sales and gets another bite of the cash on the probabality that anyone owning a music device audible to more than one person will be playing his songs? so cos we only sell a couple of hundred cd's we get nowt when a track is used as a theme song for a radio program, that really does whiff a bit it isn't as though he needs the money, idea, why don't the PRS distribute the cash inversely proportional to the ammount of cd one sells, that way struggling artists can be supported, a sort, performers in need society, it would also free up some jobs since they may be able to persue a musical career full time and give up their day jobs.
