In the UK it's the Performing Rights Society and Phonographc  
Performance.... And another organisation...The name has skipped my mind. But  they are 
just as bad.
 
When I ran my record company back in the '90s I paid a fee for EVERY CD we  
produced...
 
We, the record company, the musicians, and the composers, never got a  
Penny back from them. (As far as I know).. I guess it's only the "big  
businesses" that get anything back... It's just another "tax" on venues, and  that is 
passed on to the musicians!
 
"Sorry boy, we can't pay you a proper fee for performing, because of all  
the licenses we have to buy!"
