Subject: RE: ASCAP/BMI killing local gigs
Michael, please explain to me how ASCAP and/or BMI have the right to collect royalites, or any other kind of fee, from an employer of mine if the only songs I sing are traditional folk songs--in the public domain. Or if the songs I sing are ones I've written myself.
