Well, ASCAP/BMI are stingy on collecting their fees -- one of them even went after a shop for playing the Monday Night Football theme just because they had the TV on that channel when it came on. It seems kind of ruthless if you ask me, but these guys play their cards well, and generally avoid attracting the same the kind of infamy that the RIAA has managed to garner. Unlike the RIAA, they actually pay out their collected royalties. I don't know what their fees even are, but I think they're not too bad from a business' standpoint. Probably can't hurt to call them up and just ask. They might be willing to explain things in better detail. Just be wary if they want your company's information :) --J _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users As you are aware, messages sent by e-mail can be manipulated by third parties.
