[cma-l] Royalty payments

[Ian Hickling]

I feel that's too morally pointed and a little harsh Tony!

Surely the criterion that is being applied by the theorists regarding 
the Royalty Agencies is whether a profit is being turned from the use of 
music?

Hence zero overall profit for any of the formats brings them onto an 
equal footing.

A bit simplified I know, but not a bad basis for negotiation.
