I agree Paul - I'd suggest that we are doing them and their artists
a favour at our own expense.<br>
<br>
Problem is that we haven't been strong and united as a sector to
challenge the issue.<br>
<br>
Now that they've strong-armed most of us into new contracts with the
threat of using their considerable wealth to beat us up in court,
we're clearly on the back foot.<br>
<br>
I'm sure there's a fair percentage of the sector that would be
willing to take it on though?<br>

<div>I've completed the form but my questions are:<br>
<br>
1. Why do fees rise above the rate of inflation every
year?<br>
2. About 20 years ago I seem to remember PRS or PPL (or
both) would waive their fee for genuine not-for-profit
stations undertaking RSL broadcasts. Why can't PRS and
PPL do the same today for the community radio sector? The
amount of money raised is negligible. Based on information
in the public domain, I estimate that the whole of the
UK's community radio sector contributes 0.02% of PRS's
total income. <br>
</div>
<div>[Approx £175k from community radio against a staggering
£623m which was PRS's income in 2009 according to
Wikipedia]<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
I'm sure lots of other people will ask the same, and I doubt
I'll get much joy but I think it's worth a punt from all of
us.<br>
