COWS
Is
it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow
epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada
almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state
of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they
...are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our
country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
- I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with all of you: it has nointhg to do with free to air or paid services, or being a selective discrimination by Parliament.Parliament cannot legislate for blanket licensing to TV broadcasters because, unlike radio, that is in the domain of sync licensing - a right that the Performing Right Society has not been assigned by any member: members of IPRS have given it only their performing and mechanical rights. But nointhg will prevent the new Society to issue blanket licenses to broadcasters for background music if its members agree to do so - which they should. Nevertheless, I expect that members would want to retain their right for issuing sync licenses whenever their music is used as the theme of a program or associated with an advertiser.Someone to prove me wrong?
