I would like to know if any EU composer ever see's a statement from  
their PRO..... or their mechanical rights society....... or Publisher  
statements, when the gross amount of income is listed.

NO, you can't work it back since you do not know who 'shaved' what %  
off of where.

If you folks don't know the gross amount........ and we certainly  
don't in the USA....... maybe it is time to start asking questions !!

Sadly I have just learned PRS is not as honest as I had been led to  
believe........ huge arrogance, many errors, certainly in the Asian- 
Indian market [Bollywood etc]..........

Could it be we are faced with an entire accounting system which is  
corrupt?
