Well, that is how it works in the Shaneland movie. Here in reality, people understand that artistic and intellectual property has value and is part of free enterprise. You should study it a bit . . . do you good. Well there you have it. Some of us are talking about what we wish and others are talking about what it is. I suppose we can have our cake and eat it too.
No you jackass, it is really quite clear and you said so yourself, the radio is fair game. That is what we are talking about. If the radio is played at an establishment no royalties are expected or due, likewise if a paid for service like pandora or spotify is played at the establishment the same holds true because it is built into the fee that the subscriber pays for. Why are you such a dick? All the fucking time?
Dream on, Sunshine. Try to understand the difference between personal and business use the next time you feel curious. Do you think getting smarter is going to be easy, maggot?
I see you have edited your post. Nicely done. You are still an idiot. Tell me when, on what marquee have you ever in the history of your pathetic life have you ever seen "come here to listen to the fabulous fucking music that we play" Come on Amigo? When? You can't because it has never freaking happened. People go to bars to get laid and get hammered and could most of the time give 2 shits about what is coming out of the speakers. I agree, stealing music via pirate bay and the like is stealing but you are off the rails here with the charging extra for FREE radio or a stream that has already been paid for. What if a local cover band comes in? Do they need to pay royalties to every band they play a song by? According to you they do. That is bullshit. What does a decent band go for these days $400-500 ? They would have to double that just to cover your stupid "royalties" GTFO with that shit. Damn communist.
Bitch, bitch, bitch. I'm just telling you the law and the truth. Your fantasies are not my problem. What if The Hulk comes in and demolishes the place? Geeez! Wake the fuck up! Business pays ASCAP because it is good for business.
It is a easonable enough price that serious music producing venues pay the royalties and rake in the profits. Nobody gives a shit about your next fish fry, Boudreaux. Rock out on that ABBA!
