Thing is, you can’t have a radio, a jukebox, a turntable, a performer, or a television in your bar if you don’t cough up to the enforcer shakedown goons in BMI and ASCAP. They will pursue you over the songs in a Burger King commercial (of course, there is no accounting of what songs were played or when so none of the collected moneys actually go to the affected performers, they look at what is commonly played these days EVERYWHERE, not per your establishment, and apportion from that).

Yeah. I’m surprised they don’t put mics near people’s private showers.

I have absolutely no doubt that if they could, they would try to charge you a fee every time you sing a copyrighted song in the shower, or running or riding your bike.
