[cma-l] PRS fees

[Office - ccr-fm]

We correspond and we pay ...... it doesn't mean we have to agree with it.
Perhaps if I'd like to play & pay the Chi-lites but our music auto selector
chooses Lady Gaga instead, I should charge her for playing her record when
really I could have done with Have you seen her by the Chi-lites       just
a thought that's all.

I think the charge is going the wrong way !?

:)

Nick

Dear all,
I am in a minority, evidently, in that I am quite happy that we all
pay the PRS something, but it surely needs to get somehow to the
appropriate artists. (It could of course just as usefully go to the
PRS marketing department towards the repair of their image among CMA
members.)
But I wonder if PRS consulted anyone at CMA about this new policy
(which I think institutes randomness and is simply misconceived)?
There are 150 CR stations, meaning at least £100,000 in revenue. I
imagine about half of this actually eventually goes to artists. I
don't see any easy way of sorting out anything particularly fair or
efficient, which is why I thought the Foundation provided a more
acceptable recipient for these monies.
Anyhow, I am now corresponding with the person at PRS...
Yours
Ed
