Given, as far as I know;
Watermarking of music has been available for about 10 years;
Given the Internet/broadband has been around for about 10 years;
Given discussions about Streaming and Downloads have taken place for
about 10 years;
Given there is no income from these sources for 'instrumental
composers', that I know of;
Who should be held accountable for the mess we find ourselves in?
Composers or the PRO Board Members and staff [down to the junior VP
level] who have failed to secure any due income for 'us' on a global
basis from the distribution of product in the new market?
Salaries continued to be paid [with benefits] royalties continue to
simply vanish.... but only for composers !
Who should be made to 'pay'?
Who should be fired?
Who should not be re-elected?
Let's not forget the performers right which doesn't reside in the new
MO either !
Is silence still going to rule?
How do you know your product has been downloaded?
How do you know you should be paid?
