[Fmpro] The role of managers re: royalties?

[Sean Jackson]

I couldn't agree more.  If someone is going to take an active interest 
in your career (and what is a career except a lifetime of being paid for 
your work?), they should be the experts of PROs and back-end payments, 
and I think their paycheck should reflect such expertise for the 
lifetime of the back-end payments as well.  That would be good 
motivation, and I think it would be good insurance for the composers to 
have another voice, one more skilled at the meaniness of negotiations, 
who isn't from the same squeeky wheel group as the composers are, 
banging on the PROs doors to instigate some change and equal respect for 
their employers (us).

PS--I might not have the foggiest idea of what I'm talking about.  I'm 
speaking all on assumption and conjecture.  Forgive me.
