[cma-l] News release from PPL

[Martin Steers]

Do we not believe that artists should receive due renumeration for their
work? Would we expect all our staff to work for little or nothing?

Also what about all the other not for profit activities, fates, events and
isn't Glastonbury technically not for profit?

I like the idealism and if we could get some big name artists to agree or
propose it.

But seriously, it does show that PPL has plenty of scope to propose to its
members that they could introduce a social benefit licence scheme for very
little cost by offering a low cost flat-fee (say £200) licence to stations
constituted to operate not-for-profit and for social gain.



A back of the envelope calculation suggests this might drop their revenue
from £212.1m to £211.8m (ie by about 0.15%).



So it would make the tiniest difference to their bottom line, while making
a big difference to many hard-pressed community operations, while PPL would
get the publicity kudos of showing what excellent public benefit-minded
souls they are, and also support stations that tend to give more exposure
to their less well-known and less well-heeled members.



Must go now – I want to try and get a photo of the pig that just passed my
window.
