I hope they get this together, nothings worse than being accused of 'stealing' music, for some production, yet, all the original creators are gone, so who collects royalties from ascap/bmi for movies like 'City of ghosts' (2002) . Looking at the credits, the local songs have no copyright info. Imho someone should benefit from these cult classics, and preferably the local art scene, and not some gun toting uniformed 'rights holder' . sigh I am guessing/hoping places like Bophana center benefits from this, yet, transparency is needed, cause many gangsters look at artists as softies, easily cheated of their rights.
As of yet, I see no affiliated rights society, here, hopefully someone is working on setting this up?
