Blanket rates are not good for writers, venues or performers only of the PROs. Every song should be listed and the money to the writer.

Has anyone ever performed my song in a venue. Yep I've been in the audience. Did I ever get a cent from a PRO, nope not one. That in itself proves the system is broke.

The problem isn't paying the writers, the problem is that the writers are not getting paid. The system doesn't promote more music it stifles music. The choice is 1000 people making a million dollars and a million people making nothing or a million people making a 1000 dollars.
