GUEST,highlandman	Paying to have open mike session (64* d)	RE: Paying to have open mike session	13 Sep 07
I gather further from reading here that there is some sort of means for the UK PRS to collect information on music played in small venues. If so, and if they do anything with that information, that is a move in the right direction. ASCAP and BMI, as far as I have been able to learn from their websites, care not a whit for small venues. They have no mechanism to accept returns from anything smaller than a stadium concert. So airplay really drives it all. Hence I shall stick by my rather dim view of the whole scam and sit on my two hundred and something bucks. Which is not to say that I don't respect copyright in my own activities, I just see no need to pay ASCAP/BMI good money for doing absolutely nothing on my behalf. -Glenn
