Just one other point to add to this discussion specifically referring to ASCAP. As the Assistant Manager in a Bookstore/Coffee shop, I have had run-ins with ASCAP, we refuse to pay a licensing fee to play CD's in our store. For you see ASCAP reguards the playing of their artist's music as a "live performance" by the artist. When it comes down to paying $300 to play a cd, I am sorry I will play something else. I don't think that most musicians mind having their music played, it is at least a complimant, if not free advertising, but not in the eyes of ASCAP. Well thanks for letting me get that out!
