God knows what strange standard of business practice this grew out of. Copyright law, statutory licenses, compulsory arbitration, voluntary negotiations, etc. Always looking for another excuse to shrink the cut. The same planet where payments are received nine to 10 months after a transaction has taken place and the societies have had plenty of time to invest your money and fluff their nest without sharing any of the interest with you.

Special Thanks to Bill Colitre for his valuable assistance in assembling this column. The FezGuys welcome your suggestions on how to improve anything .
