[Fmpro] BMI changes

[Mark Northam]

Todd Brabec from ASCAP LA issued a letter to members around 2000 that said
exactly this, after we exposed the policy and the questions started to be
asked.

It's a HUGE giveaway to the songwriters, plain and simple. Not a single PRO
board member has ever justified this policy to me, and now that BMI has
ended it, they deserve a lot of credit.

Best,

Mark Northam
