| Re: Interesting Excuse me, but when you are in business to make money off of other people's work you better be sure to compensate that person. At least this new legislation proposed makes the compensation fair so that the business can still do what they do.
said by Jehu  :I'd rather have congress stay the hell out of telling businesses what those busninesses can and can't charge for their services. Where in the world do you get the notion that royalty payments dictate what businesses can charge for their service? Royalties only dictate what you have to pay for to use the copyrighted material. You charge what you want. The debate here is how much your overhead will be. With this legislation you pay a percentage of your business income instead of a flat fee per song (which would kill small businesses). |
