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?
   
  Regards,

  Iain,

MCPS stands for Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society (see
www.mcps.co.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.
