Thank you Phill. However, is any money actually given to copywrite holders who are not known to these two organisations - in other words, what effort do they go to to pay copyright holders of country dance music and music composed outside the UK?

It is the mechanism for paying royalties to the composers of any tunes still in copyright that are recorded on the CD and is charged based on the number of CDs produced, how long the tune lasts on the recording etc... and whether the composer is a member of the MCPS.
