[Fmpro] FMPRO Digest, Vol 23, Issue 9

[Les Hurdle]

When a 'suit' knows a composer will accept payment by
a PRO which is as much as 600% less [for the same use]
than a song, why should we be surprised when they do
not think of us or our product as 'less than'?

What we are reaping now is the result of the very
selfish acts of the self servers.
Many of whom would be considered 'peers'......... by
some.
