Whoa, just because someone buys a CD, it doesn't give them the right to
play it in public for pay. THey or the establishment they play it in
owes royalty fees. It doesn't matter if they own the CD, copied it to
MD, borrowed it from a friend or what. Ever hear of ASCAP? In case you
haven't, they are the ones that tried to shut down the the Girl Scouts
and had them doing the Macarina with out music. The public outcry sure
made them look like greedy fools.
