I'm in a cleft stick here.<br>
I believe that people who make music should be properly rewarded for their art
- but at the same time the present system appears to be illogical,
secretive and unfair.<br>
Has any broadcaster ever told the societies that they're not paying their
exhorbitant arbitrary and unexplained fees and to go ahead and sue?<br>
Bill will know that only last week he managed to ensure that a new
broadcaster was only charged pro-rata for two months' royalties when the
organisation concerned had insisted - would you beleive - on a full 12-month
fee for two months' activity.<br>
Peter raises the point about using music from other countries and how Royalties
are and should be paid.<br>
As I understand it - and I may be quite wrong - there are parallel agreements
throughout the world with other royalty collection agencies.<br>
We provide facilities for stations serving Asian communities and they never
ever pay PRS, MCPS and PPL as far as I can see. <br>
If English-language stations in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> are required to pay, then why
are these equally-licensed broadcasters apparently exempted because their music
orignated in another country?<br>
Why doesn't Ofcom collect these royalties - if indeed they are fully
authenticated in Law - at the same time as the Licence Fees?<br>

I'd second that - a very large proportion of our music is from Mainland <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region>, which
isn't under the PRS/PPL license. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

royalties for their work, since it is so hard to make money from music in <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and
since the record companies over there have been so supportive by giving us
interviews, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:8.5pt'>Hi Jaqui's not available today to address the issues that some of you have recently brought up on the list as she's attending a meeting at DCMS to represent the sector to the Digital Radio Marketing Group. Yesterday Jaqui was at the "Community Radio and Digitally Networked Business" workshop in <st1:place
w:st="on">Port Talbot</st1:place> and met a number of CMA members there. On 15 October Jaqui and I attended a meeting at PRS for Music to discuss issues around music licensing for the sector - in particular about MCPS rates which have hitherto not yet been charged. PRS will feedback to the CMA about MCPS rates when the relevant PRS board documentation is completed later this week. I'm delighted to say that talks with PRS were productive and the CMA has re-established a positive working dialogue with PRS. In the meantime PRS are currently reviewing their Community Radio documentation in advance of refreshing it with the new licence information and updated PRS rates. Are there any frequently asked questions or items that station managers are particularly interested in that require attention or further explanation? The PRS Community Radio Licence Application and FAQ is here: <a
