Mia, is the US the only country that is allowing this?
Basically, the argument that I heard was that because most rights
collection agencies do a blanket fee. Therefore the cost of dealing
with venues saying, "I only played songs that were CC licensed" or
artists saying, "I'm only licensing these songs from that album"
would be high and add a great deal to the complexity. What are the US
rights collection agencies doing different that allows them to have
artists use CC licenses?
