Dear Santa,

"So, here's my wish:
I would sure love to see a list somewhere online that would identify  
the "good" publishers and "good" music libraries... Now imagine 100  
composers avoiding the crappy libraries and supporting the good  
libraries -- and the libraries knowing that the support/boycott is  
linked to the quality of their contracts.  I'd love to know which  
libraries are the best libraries to approach with my compositions,  
and which ones to avoid like the plague. "

Dear Kevin,
I would suggest something like my Naughty and Nice data base.   
Available at Walmart for Windows XP and Vista.  Enter the coordinates  
of publisher and libraries -- check them twice -- and then click on  
"Find Out"

oh, damn, the server is down...  wait a sec.  Ho Ho Ho!  Santa forgot  
to pay his Internet cable bill this month!  Enter Visa#...  Okay, On  
Dasher, on Prancer!

Here in the "Mechanical Rights" column, so-and-so has been tagged  
"Naughty", and this other Library has been tagged "Nice".   Kevin, a  
database for individuals would be three dimensional, and over time  
for many good boys and girls, four dimensions.  Complex queries, even  
with Santa's new elf-friendly database.

Santa and his elves are working on this great idea of yours, and you  
will indeed receive that new - sled - doll - bike - SQL algorithm   
(check one)

Season Greetings,
Santa,
