On: Readability: An Important Announcement

Reminds me of SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI and Sesac and other PRO's. "Not our fault if you don't claim the money we collected on your behalf!"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the musical licensing and payments system is 1) supported by copyright law (17 USC 115(a) http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/115), and 2) sanctioned by either regulation or industry as to the establishment .

You left out the Harry Fox Agency, which is actually responsible for the bulk of mechanicals in the US.

Yes, it is backed up by law. Still, same type of issues, just legal breakage.
