Re: Fwd: Lori - Flory Jagoda question

[Joel Bresler <joel.br...>]

All's well that ends well. Thanks for this interesting post, (whether we 
were supposed to see it or not.)

;-)

Note that the songwriter/publisher of a piece of music is entitled to the 8 
cent mechanical payment, not the label, for just the reason noted below 
(label "forgets" to pay songwriter/publisher, etc.)

Best,

Joel
