I just happen to be in the music business, and most of the above is true ASCAP / BMI are ruthless once they find out about you, which is the hard part for them, in the old days there actually were the ASCAP police. They would pay informants ect. Music in commercial venue is way to prolific now. At the end of the day, the whole thing should actually be looked at as protection of the artist rights, and a paycheck for the musician. I represent a new product that unlike "Muzak" or "DMX" does not have a predictable 6 hour rotation. My product is like an Ipod on steroids. It allows you to create custom programs, and for a monthly fee, can tap into an unlimited library of music. Because I am a dealer, of course I have to demo this product, and my current computer has loaded about 39 hours of seamless Hawaiian, 12 hours of lounge / exotica and 8 hours of instrumental surf. I can create a playlist combining any of the above. My home bar and pool sound better than most restaurants or themed hotels, except for the ones that I have sold music to. If anyone is interested, I can make anyplace sing.
