this is disappointing. rigntones are paid for by the user, including the publishing mechanical at a fixed stat rate. this is a reach under the best case scenario.

not that I think the RIAA's moves have been particularly genius - but would it be asking to much for ASCAP/BMI and the RIAA to all have a unified policy for digital copyright issues?

the ironic thing about the whole PB thing, is that not only were the labels loosing money from each illegal download, so were the publishers.

I haven't looked to see if ASCAP was on the RIAA bandwagon with the labels, but you would have thought for sure Harry Fox would have gotten into the act on behalf of their clients.

Try weasling out of publishing roylaties owed to Harry Fox, good luck with that.
