making music, not arsing about tracking
down Messrs Thistlethwaite and Batty and finding out how much they
want and how to pay them, and likewise Herbert and Nora are writers and
composers and want to spend their time doing that, rather than trying to
track down every miscreant who uses their works and extract money from them
individually. So they all end up subscribing to a company that is set up to
handle all the hassle for them.</FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>
