Recording industry sinks to a new low...

My 2 cents:

Bars, clubs, coffee houses and all other venues, when having either live or recorded music broadcast to their patrons, should pay royalties to the publishing companies.  Even though the piece of the royalty pie is small for most artists, it still serves them.  Nearly every venue I\'ve ever played at pays either BMI or Ascap.  Its really no big deal.  A few hundred bucks a year?  Come on.  

I am a big fan of licensed music.  I love the bose jukeboxes that actually calculate royalties, even though they are more expensive.

Al Kooper told the crowd (which I was blessed enough to be attendance for) that a musicians songs will take care of them.  For him it was when a Mr. Jay Z sampled his song "Love Song (Theme From Landlord)".  He had never heard of Jay Z before until one day he recieved a nice fat check in the mail.  The checks continued and he was able to remodel his bathroom thanks to the jigga man.....
