Well, if it's true that the RIAA has appointed SoundExchange to collect and
re-distribute royalties there will be checks coming to us as Bullseye is a
member of SoundExchange. As much as I hate getting into bed with the enemy
it's our only recourse for remuneration. I suggest ANY artist on this list
who owns their own copyrights register with SoundExchange (USA) or the AVLA
(Canada) to see at least some compensation from music being webcast on the
net....that's if all the webcasters don't go out of business first.
Jaimie Vernon,
