Re: Composers should also get paid (was: Fripp & Eno 1973 / BBC /Peel /RIAA)

I used to get a few hundred dollars every year from Tamborine in SF  
for writers royalties on a cd they were distributing for Sugo Music.  
It was a surprise that I would get these since I never got a cent from  
Sugo, and now that it's all reverted back to Sugo I once again don't  
hear anything from them. hmm, maybe I should give them a call, I at  
least used to get a statement showing what the sales were.
