[cma-l] PPL / PRS for Music mini consultation

[Bruce Rodger]

Bill,

Maybe questions on why PRS were prepared to waive additional fees for the
DAB pilot, but PPL were not.

The inherent unfairness of the “minimum fee” - where in general they apply
a set percentage of net broadcast revenue to determine the base fee, but
for the majority of low income community stations we have to pay a “minimum
fee”, which effectively means we pay a substantially higher percentage rate
(to subsidise their bureaucratic processes)

The fact that we focus on niche genres of music that are largely ignored by
the majority of commercial stations, and the vast majority of the
performers who we encounter have never received a penny from PPL or PRS -
perhaps due to the minimum payouts to artists.

I just googled the “top 100 artists played on UK radio” - which no doubt
reflects the PPL and PRS payouts. Of the performers in that top 100, I’m
reply sure we have *never* played anything by 90% of them.

Bruce.

Apart from the general principle of why they are collecting from non-profit
stations as others have raised, I would like to ask for the justification
for extra charges for Internet streaming and, in particular, why they
demanded fees for the Low power DAB experiment/pilots.

We were all ready to apply for the DAB pilot but changed our mind when we
realised we would have to fork out more than £2,000 to copyright bodies -
money we don't have and for absolutely no benefit to us or our audience and
local community.

Good luck!

Clive Glover
