you do not need to pay for your own material. have never received anything
from mcps about this matter.
you need to pay around 100 pounds at the very beginnign to become a member.
in the first year, they only send you 1 form about your royalties. by the end of
first year, they start to send forms every 3 months. they collect royalties from
ASCAP and the whole world. also they could collect royalties from 2 years
back.
they are very picky about new members. you need to publish a number of
works internationally to become a member.
very nice deal.
best.

Sounds good that MCPS/PRS do this work when your stuff is
played
somewhere, but do you have to pay royalties for your own stuff on
own
website when a member of MCPS/PRS?
I have no idea how it's done
here in DK; will make an inquiry..
