I know guys who make a living in cover bands. It’s been happening for decades. No royalties have ever been demanded or paid by anyone anywhere, as far as I know.

Either the bars where they play are paying ASCAP and BMI fees, which is not unusual for places that regularly book live bands, or they've been lucky enough not to get caught.

I did not know that- thanks!
