Yes, Ray, it's all settled. Don't know why EVERY songwriter, publisher, PRO and record label are going crazy right now. I guess all that had been handled a long time ago (even though this rule was JUST HANDED DOWN Wed. I don't know how many ways to tell you that EVERYTHING you are going on is now totally different, but maybe you will see that some other time. But if you have been paying attention over the past decade or so, it is kind of a "new normal" that has gone completely with everything else going on in this country.
Let’s review for a moment.

Let’s see, an already struggling business on life support trying to adjust to a new cultural and business dynamic, get's government overreach from un-elected politicians who write rules for that industry while having NO UNDERSTANDING OF THAT INDUSTRY. (without having to go through Congressional oversight)

The rules, FURTHER decimate the already strapped industry and essentially another step toward wiping it out completely.

As Ray would say, HMMM?

Where have we seen this before?
VETERANS ADMINISTRATIONS, where bureaucrats with no military or veteran experience cause delays causing death with their members.

TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH PEOPLE who have NO EXPERIENCE in Trade or International negotiations who make deals with countries who declare their desire to kill us?

Energy regulations, by people that know NOTHING of the energy business, shutting down the Coal industry, the electrical industry, the Natural gas industry, in favor of unproven technology that continues to under deliver and over-promise AND TO EXCEED ALL COSTS.

HEALTH CARE and INSURANCE, wrecking all insurance and heath industries, causing a complete upheaval in every person’s lives.

Military decisions by bureaucrats with no military experience resulting in feckless and dangerous military policies.

Homeland security decisions that result in political correctness and blunders that cause and abet the actual deaths of people abroad and in the country.

Business regulations with people that have NO EXPERIENCE in business outside of theoretical classes in UPPER CLASS Universities.

Police and legal issues determined by people with no experience in either.

See any pattern here? Hmmm?

Over the past decades, there have been movements affront worldwide to render ALL COPYRIGHTS, ALL INTILLECTUAL PROPERTY, ALL PATENTS, ALL REGISTRATIONS, NULL AND VOID. With the goal stated that all should be “free to the world” in an effort to add to the “human condition.” So there would be no ownership of anything. And no money for it. It started with the “downloading and freebie people” but have spread to actual legislatures around the world.

Getting something other people create for free? Who would ever believe anything like that? Who would think they should get paid for no work, have housing, food, college, health care, cable, internet, every benefit of life provide by governments from Cradle to grave. Who would think of that?

Ummm. Like ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 30?

Find a problem. EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. CREATE THE “CURE” FOR THE PROBLEM, MAKING IT SO BAD IT ENDS WHATEVER INDUSTRY THERE IS.

Declare the problem SOLVED.
There you go.
