I have it on good authority that PRS members are not all treated  
'equally'.....  those in the higher ££ bracket can have PRS pay their  
royalty check as and when they want....... and........... to  
whichever country/bank  for tax purposes.

As I've stated here many times.......... yet no one picks up on  
it..... Mr Lofrumento ASCAP CEO wanted 1-1...... he also wanted  
monthly payments..............  why is he unable to introduce such  
measures.

Anyone know if  ... re Local TV.... >>>  The networks pay a flat fee  
for a “through to the viewer” license for network programming.  So  
none of the 3 big network affiliates pay anything for their network  
programming. ,,, is correct?

V Important.
