That is correct. The CMRRA called me back. In the case of dance
recitals, you can pay a flat rate for up to 10 songs for up to 30
copies. Beyond that, it is individual negotiations with the owners of
each song.
For weddings-- it's hopeless. You must indeed obtain a separate
agreement from the publisher of each individual song. I suggested to
the woman who called me back that this was impractical for most wedding
videographers and she replied that there was no way around it.
I apologize if I raised anyone's hopes, that there could be a rational,
manageable system for observing the letter of the law in situations like
that.
