What they asked for must have been significantly more than they paid for the pianist alone, with the result that the composer gets nothing and the pianist lost his job. My experience with the RIAA/Gema family of corporations is, that they claim they protect the artists, but they are only interested to protect the publishers. There is a reason why Stockhausen founded his own publishing company... They look where the big bucks are and don't care about the small. I am still memeber of the Gema but seriously considering to quit, because they do a bad job... (95% of all Gema authorities are purely lawers...) If you should get small amounts of money, like maybe 5 Euros from a web radio, the Gema won't pay it to you, because its so little, instead they collect it and distribute it mainly to the big guys who have too much already. I'd love to find a authors rights corpoartion which would allow me to puplish my work under a creative commons license and still let them effectively take care about royalties for commercial use...
