@eriqgardner But it is *the* key difference in between the rights: one has a statutory licensing scheme that contemplates cover recordings attached to it. That is the reason they are different: they are paid at different rates, and ultimately worth very different amounts to artists — PolitiTweet.org

@bergmayer Right, I am saying if they want to be paid for an "underlying work" (which up till not has not existed in this form) they should be required to accept a compulsory licensing scheme around that work as songwriters have long accepted — PolitiTweet.org
