This.this.this. The big companies are BRUTAL. I've seen more kind and gentle branches of the mafia.
Don't even get me started on the ASCAP/BMI/SECAM strong-arm tactics. If you ever plan to start a restaurant or bar, it'll make your head spin how quickly you start getting calls and 'reminders' taped to your window about music licensing.
[Puts on best mob goon voice] We was just waukin by an noticed tat yous got speakers in your establishment dat could potentially play songs from my associates here. I couldn't possibly be hear all da time to keep track of da songs, so why don't yous just pay me 2% off da top and we's play it by da honors system?
