I certainly have no problem with a FAIR method of compensating writer/performers.

It the implementation I find so objectionable.

And, No one can tell you how the funds are distributed. A few years ago, the National Electronics Show was almost shut down because one of these organizations insisted the night before the show opened that anyone showing a product that required a DVD, tape, or recording of any kind pay a fee.

I threw a couple of these guys out of a club years ago. Did the same to a couple of musicians union reps, but that's a whole different story.
