Maybe I can jump in here. I think there are a couple of things we need to talk about here. I think the Musicaction and FACTOR have been very successful programs and they're an excellent way for someone to get into the industry. They're also a very good way for small businesses to get into the industry. They really add a lot to the economy and specifically the music economy. So first of all, I'd like to say that those are all very successful programs.
We would like to see the balance maybe shift a little so that the creator side could participate in those moneys a little bit more than the maker side, because we feel as though the labels and the indies and the performers have greater access. There's more funding available to them.
The thing is that no one is paying me to be a songwriter. They don't buy my songs. If a band or an artist wants to use my song, my publishing company allows them to do do. There's a licence in effect. I get paid only if it's played on the radio or if someone sells a physical unit of it. So someone has to buy it on iTunes or they have to buy a disc. That's the only way I get paid. I don't go on tour with them. I'm way too old. I don't sell any T-shirts. All of those other tertiary parts of the music business, I'm not allowed to participate in them. There are a lot of guys and girls like me out there who just do the writing part, so this is really difficult especially for just the creator side. Any way we can help the creator side of the business keeps the business a little more in balance. Right now, it's a lot out of balance.
I just wanted to make it clear how we actually do make our money. Every disc not bought, every album downloaded off the Internet for nothing is just some pennies that I don't get anymore. That's how the situation works.
