Ascap & Bmi

[bobcox- with the Lord]

I don't understand why we or the bar has to pay them at all. the bars have entertain lic, I thought we paid when we purch disc. how many times do they get paid. I am in small town USA. they still bother bar owners. one owner told me they pay ascap because of jukebox. and they told BMI that they were not reqired to pay more than one. she also told them send a list and she would have their songs removed from jukebox. so far no reply from bmi, been over a yr.

PS. can i get lic from ascap so wherever i play wont be bothered ???
