Never thought about that actually. Over here in the Netherlands that is
still impossible because every venue has to pay a fixed amount to the
collection society (Buma). So until then I still have to send in
setlists and hope that I get anything back of our old songs that I
registred with the collecting society. All our new material is CC, I
don't want to be bound to the collecting society anymore.

Best,

Jeremy
