[Fmpro] RIGHTS Mark's Interview with Dan Kimpel

[Mark Northam]

Scary. ASCAP, BMI and SESAC ought to be bussing members down to Washington
and making a BIG DEAL out of this, before Film/TV downloads in this country
follow the same path as those in the UK.

But given how poorly the PROs value instrumental music, which of course is
the bulk of music in audiovisual downloads (Film/TV), I guess it's no wonder
they're not expending too much effort on this. Too busy hyperventilating
over the next "I Create Music" show, I guess.. Anything but public
discussion of the really important, critical issues involving royalties.
