Where is ASCAP going with this next? Are they going to go after teenagers driving around with the top down and the stereo up? |
Though I do agree with you, songwriters do get paid for the teenager blasting their stereo from the car wether it's from CD sales or performance royalties on radio. And since we get paid from ringtones already I'm guessing it will be covered under fair use.
I'd rather see ASCAP go after ISP's so we can all get paid from illegal downloads.
