I think the IOV's proposal is wholly sensible. Which is why it will most likely be ignored by the MCPS and the PPL. I wouldn't mind betting that 99% of people that produce videos ignore the current rules and regs because either
- They cost too much
- The licenses are confusing to apply for and generally a pain in the butt to know you've got the right one (or as the IOV note, two)
- Why bother when no one polices the system anyway.
Whilst I totally agree that a musicain or composer should be rewarded for their (sometimes) hard work, as the IOV note, a cue sheet is rarely required for work, so how does the actual artist get the reward.
The current system is farcical and the IOV should be congratulated for taking a lead in sorting it out.
