Try and get as many serious producers and DJs, label owners etc., in on it.

Just an explanation of why the current system is flawed, and some ideas on how a system could be set up to benefit clubs, DJs, labels and producers alike.

Mind you - I bet nearly none of you write down all the tracks you play when you DJ and then send it off, do you? You should... as it's the only way of any performance royalties getting back to the producer.
An excellent point.

If we are going to try to change how the system works for OUR benefit we need to engage in the system, and this clearly we are not doing.

Has anyone got ANY ideas about this, im afraid im no expert on it and would really appreciate some suggestions.

and before anyone say "If you try to change the system, the system changes you" You are right. But it would be foolish to try not to.

There are some questions we all need to ask ourselves.

1. What is wrong with the current system of royalties and performance, in your opinion?

2. What is right with the system as it stands - i.e what needs to be kept

3. How do you feel you as a producer or DJ fits into this system of payments?

Thanks.
