[Fmpro] What's CPA worth?

[Mark Northam]

It's your music - what do you believe it's worth?

3 cents on the dollar for a one minute cue (compared to a minute of song in
the program)?

4 cents?

5 cents?

10 cents?

50 cents?

We are, after all, talking about the worth of over 50% of the music on
television...

As to not unduly belabor this point, I'll take your last message as the end
of this thread, but I do think it makes an interesting point... When
composers aren't ready to fight for the value of their own music (or even
specify a value or relative value), why should they expect anyone else to do
so?

Best,

Mark Northam
