| Stig - true enough, but any living composer or composer dead fewer than 50 years receive royalties, as do performers for their performances. Need to register with both performing and performer rights societies, which costs nothing. The World's broadcasts, DVD and CDs are rich with original compositions. The Glenfiddich and World's and every competition are legally required to report content played at the festival/concert and pay fees legislated in each country. This is not insignificant money. |

| I just hope this will broadcast outside of the UK. The BBC capped other Glenfiddich coverage on their site so only UK taxpayers got the benefit of watching it without extra software. This is a great leap forward for the solo piping community to see the modern day greats in action. Two thumbs up to the National Piping Centre for their efforts here! |

| How does performing rights actually work in this case, where over 95% of the material either being traditional or public domain? | |
