You are correct, the P.R.O's will work with you about retroactive fee's...but this is a repeating pattern.

RAIN - June 2003

I am writing with regard to a recent feature in the RAIN Newsletter (of which I am a big fan -- keep it coming!). The feature was on a service/site called "SWCast.net" and a program it is calling "Joint Performance Licensing" ("JPL").

despite making several streaming music programs available on SWCast.net, the site itself is not licensed by ASCAP. We hope to rectify this situation as soon as possible but we are having trouble identifying and contacting the operators of SWCast.net.

I've had several conversations with the P.R.O.'s. They are reasonable people. At the most, it takes a few days to get rolling with any one of them...not a year.

This is the sound of a ball dropping...
