Well curiosity got the best of me and I did some research and damned if it's not true. Boy are there allot of lawbreaking lounges , pubs and restaurants out there. I am putting together a Bar Business plan and had no idea. That's why I love this place, It's a wellspring of info, some of it even useful! I like the Vegas Vic idea. I ran across a nice loophole if it still exists. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/196204/music-copyright It seems Jukeboxes are exempt from this copyright tragedy. One could just hook a sound system up to the jukebox and fill it with great Exotica and surf music.

Maybe I am off the mark in thinking that this is silly. I understand that the artists deserve their just dues. What if you retail the music though. Like at Starbucks, they are just playing the sample and you can buy the CD. Everybody wins in that scenario. I bet musicians would be tripping over themselves to have one of their songs on an exclusive TV Compilation CD.
