If the broadcasters use music do they not have to pay under copyright  
law?

If so, then CPA must be part of any negotiation.... even if  
unmentioned**

The real bottom line is those at ASCAP et al [and PRS is proving it  
has bunch of idiots there] who negotiate......... who are they?   
Where is there report [to the members]?  What are the rules of  
engagement?  Who gave them the right to 'thow away YOUR music if it  
is used for CPAS?

With respect one and all........... you've all been drinking the same  
acid here in the USA.

**A recent survey.. seen by some on this list, indicated between  
70-93% of music on Local TV in the USA is Library.......... now what?
