If you’re planning to go out and do karaoke tonight, better make sure that the bar you’re going to has ASCAPs blessing. Last night the said group sued various nightclubs, bars, and restaurants for publicly performing songs without a license coming from them.
According to them, “Using music is a vital part of the total service that businesses offer, both in attracting customers and driving more revenue,” says Candilora. “By accepting an ASCAP license, business owners can legally use music in ASCAP’s popular and ever-increasing repertory.“
What’s next, they’re going to raid elevators now for their pump in music? Shutdown MySpace?
