Put me in the camp that believes a PRO system overhaul is LONG overdue.
I think that just like major label authority is slipping in the eyes of the indie/DIY movement, public support for the PROs is going to continue to erode under the current system.
True or not, the public perception is that tiny venues are getting hammered with extortionist threats from a PRO system that only serves the Big Labels. It's hard to feel bad for millionaires when the local Java Joint where you and your friends practice your craft gets threatened with a lawsuit.

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
