The entry of music of the 20s and 30s into the public domain has been frozen for 20 years. Unless the copyright extension law is thrown out by the courts, the development of computerized PD-only jukeboxes relying on gilded-age and jazz-age music must now wait. Difficulties in identifying the standard of originality for derivative musical works make it difficult (though not impossible) for a venue owner to set and enforce a PD-only music policy. The music licensing system won't look truly fair to me until it is a realistic possibility for a bookstore or club NOT to have an ASCAP or BMI license, not to be in constant fear of unwittingly infringing, and still offer a good choice of live or recorded music.
