Providence bar has to pay royalties for cover bands usage of songs[views:2912][posts:23]______________________________ [Mar 1,2009 1:02pm - Pires ""] From NBC 10 News "A popular Providence watering hole will have to pony up some cash to pay a big fine. Patrick’s Pub will pay more than $14,000 over three years for violating federal copyright laws. The pub broke the rules when bands played copywritten songs without paying royalties. The pub plans to stage a fundraiser to help pay for the settlement." How is this bar singled out as opposed to all of the other thousands of bars that host cover bands? |

I'm going to school in Nashville for music business next year and this one women described this internership. FUCK THAT. I'm not going to even step foot in an ASCAP building if i can avoid. Funny that the organization that organization has become. All started when they shut down more or less every tab website because you have to buy the tab book! |
