But there are organisations that collect your mechanical rights for you now, are they not doing what the MLC are going to do? So we do already have them no? e.g PRS in the uk can collect your mechanical rights, in the US dont you have the Harry Fox Agency?
lets say i recorded guitar over a record, what would i need to do next ? send the original publishers a NOI or do i contact a agency to speak with publishers directly. I'm confused on this. I want to release this new version of a song but have no idea how to obtain a notice of intent and who to speak with from the government to obtain a compulsory mechanical license. in other words would i need to speak with music lawyer? thanks any advice will help.
Eric Beall is such a well-spoken intellectual. I'm honoured to learn from him every time.

I think the Harry Fox Agency collects royalties for putting music on physical formats only (i.e. vinyl, CDs)
Wow. Great video
