[Fmpro] Les Hurdle

[chris@alpiar.com]

Yea well thats the problem in a nutshell. I posted Mark Northams suggested bill of rights for ascap composers and asked the list for suggestions. just for SUGGESTIONS, not even to committ to it in any way shape or form yet... and 2 people have bothered to taken time to talk about any of those 12 points. I am feeling pretty disgusted at this moment. I understand why Les left is because of that apathy found among our group and I am starting to see it very clearly. So sad so sad. When there are no more royalty payments made and every music is done for sync only on a pro level colliding with everyone willing to work for free on the noob level I am going to be really sad. The trends are already set in place, time to wake up and grow some backbone folks. The bill of rights is one good, democratic, fair and non-violent way to at least begin to define what we want and what we should be getting.

FYI Les Hurdle has left the FMPRO list, so any responses to his posts should be emailed directly to his email as shown in the posts, rather than to the list. Best, Mark Northam ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What what what? I'm in the middle of trying to make a deadline so gotsta post and run (as usual), but would like to say a quick word about LH - FMN hosted a thing a while back where production library reps did a panel discussion on aspects of the library business - Les was the only cat in the room with enough guts to voice his dissatisfaction that these american companies weren't sharing mechanicals with composers. If we all grumbled as much as Les, we'd probably be in a lot better shape than we are............
