As I've explained many times........... the DOJ lied to us re AFJ2,  
Orin Hatch got his songs published *  then the 'Fairness in Licensing  
Bill' went through which cost US PRO's around $100M per  
year...........  The Gov are only interested in one simple fact;

Competition.

I asked the DOJ lawyers to explain what the competition between US  
PRO's was........ they had no answer.... does anyone on this list?

L

*  Orin Hatch.. after he had hi songs published and recorded received  
a cheque from ASCAP and gave an address at at ASCAP Gen  
Meeting.......... his wors ring in my ears  'hang in there, and  
you'll get a big cheque, just like me'.
The groans from the audience told the story.

Those in 'power' have no idea.
