[Fmpro] Online Music Stores Protest Additional Download Royalties

[JJB]

Right. To some degree, publicly held companies have to report their  
sales figures. Not sure about privately held institutions. So I would  
imagine its all about making sure there is some legislation in place  
to ensure that companies selling audio and video downloads are  
publishing their sales figures, and that those figures are accurate.
