hello all, I am confronted with a problem at my local regular gig: ASCAP (sp?) is harrassing the owner which might result in his dropping all of his scheduled live entertainment, due to the increased expense. I don't know exactly how much this is, but I believe the owner wants to cut his expenses rather than increase them, so he is considering buying a cable music channel service, which apparently is licensed for commercial use. Just curious if anyone out there has had to deal with this, and how ....
