ppl, prs & mcps are a so called non profit organisation, yea right, ive seen there offices and they mabe non profit but they sure do spend on refurb and nice wages throughout, i tried to join prs 8 years ago and was told if i didnt have anything that was top 20 or looked like it they basically wasnt interested, i was told by mcps i couldnt claim money for 8000 sales i made on a label other than my own because i didnt claim within the 1st 6 months, if i was a major they allow 2 years. What they do is go round and bill places like clubs, restaurants, pubs, anything with a dukebox to a f ucking soapbox, you have to pay an anual subscription, but whats most ****ed of all is its not regulated its pecking order payout, they blindly think because its a club there playing top 40, so infact all the hard clubs, house clubs, drum n bass clubs, trance clubs are infact fueling and funding for simon cowles new ferrari........utter toss, its as out of date as the poll tax and needs a whole new shake up.....
