ASCAP music licenseing fees

  • What happens legally if my restaurant does not pay ASCAP fees for live music?


  • Take a look at an ASCAP press release: http://www.ascap.com/press/2005/infringement_012405.html They say that "During 2004, ASCAP achieved a 100% success rate with its infringement litigation, with all concluded cases resulting in either a cash settlement or a judgment in favor of ASCAP members." Below that there is a list of places which seem like restaurants and bars. It seems ASCAP does pursue infringers, and if you don't pay for the license ASCAP could take you to court.


  • dreamlayers, If you researched and found out the percentage of those in non-compliance that actually were prosecuted (to comprise that 100%), then 3006-ga would have the answer.
