According to the owner of the bar where I predominantly work, these agencies charge based on seating capacity and the type of entertainment provided. There is one fee for having a band, one fee for having a jukebox, and one fee for having a DJ/karaoke - all are based on the frequency that each occurs. If any mix of these is provided, the fees for each are combined. These fees are definitely the responsibility of the bar owner, not the provider of the music.
