Any thoughts?
Is this good or bad for a composer who is registered with a PRO in Europe?
I can see it in two ways and it’s depending of who will pay for the streaming in the end. If it will for YouTube as it is for a TV channel I don’t think it will matter much. But, if a creator of a video clip will have to pay for the clips streaming then I think it will be the death sentence of a royalty free composer registered with PRO and it will be better to opt out from PRO
Don’t worry, you can always leave your current PRO and register with another one outside of EU.
