Erh... actually perhaps all the video service providers who have applied for the necessary licence(s) can also offer this same insertion service at a per couple basis?
Imagine a walk-in service, where a couple just have to provide the visuals and the music CD. The service provider will just compile both together in under 15 mins and print his company logo on the DVD to endorse it.
Quite a viable business model actually... Even a charge of $50 is quite lucrative.

lol...good idea lei. one way to piss off those money greedy compass and all..someone just pay $8K for the license...and we all pay him say $50 a month ( or $600 a year) to have all our montage " made" by him...
We need to consult someone adept with law about this option, but agree its a good idea.
They want to shove our industry crack our rice bowls we are not sitting ducks!
I feel it is never an issue of paying royalties... If you are a musician spending 20 years developing your talent to make that album, would you want people to use your music without paying you? Who is going to pay your bills and let you make music? Similarly, as video content providers, we should understand this more than consumers.
The real question is how much is reasonable and how much RIPS/COMPASS charge that will not to be seen to be greedy. The "haves" in this world got to realise how much is too much instead of trying to squeeze money from the "have-nots" indefinitely. George Orwell's "Animal Farm" might ring a bell here.
I am not saying I know the fair amount, but if the license is say $500 or $1000 instead of $4000, maybe everyone will be more happy to pay. It's just like PC game piracy. The game makers came to the realization that they have to lower the game prices to stem out piracy, and the prices did eventually go down low enough for people to see no point with buying pirated games.
My 5 cents.
Yes, agreed, you put it a much better way than I did. Its sound more like $8000 that they want, all things considered. I believe most of us want to pay, but very much feel that they are unrealistic with what they want from us.
