[Fmpro] Mechanicals

[leshurdle]

PRESUME [along with the link below] future cessation of performing  
royalty income [See recent Judge Conner ruling on downloads etc].

The only royalty is to be 'The Mechanical'.
Assume you are still entitled to any part of this [only] income stream.

Who will collect for you?

Harry Fox? No, you can't join.
Your Publisher......... where's the cross check?
The PRO's suddenly get a Gov mandate to collect mechanicals !!

Will those PRO's want to keep the weighting formula on mechanicals  
[no prime time audience etc here].

Should a mechanical have any weighting attached to it?

How will your usage be tracked?
