Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to our presenters today.
On Saturday morning I woke up about six o'clock and flicked on the television and there was a gentleman selling CDs from the artists of the 1950s. I actually watched the program for an hour as they went through because that's my era of music. Patsy Cline was on there and Elvis and all of those. You can get 160-some songs for five simple, easy payments of $29.95, and if you send it immediately within the first eight minutes, you would get a free CD of Elvis alone.
I was thinking about our committee when I was watching this and I said, “I'm going to listen to this for a while.” That's why I did listen for an hour, but the music was good. I could understand it as it was clear and precise. I don't remember the company that was pushing this but there was a guy on there for an hour and he was trying to sell. Would there be royalty rights going to those old stars for their doing something like that? It was a promotion program using the old music of the 1950s. I was just curious.
Mr. Klein.
