Please note you are the only one complaining of being inconvenienced. You may think you are plural, but you are the only one claiming what is obviously an extortion racket is a legitmate business.
You assert I am speaking from ignorance in the face of hundreds of firsthand accounts of dealings with ASCAP. Those hundreds of accounts paint a picture of racketeering, corruption, dubious interpretation of what constitutes a "contract," and anti-competitive practices.
ASCAP is an entertainment industry racket that sucks money into a corrupt, 99.9% lesftist pinko anti-business mafia. It deserves the scorn it gets.
tdadams may claim all the ASCAP horror stories on the Web are all fabrications by IP thieves, but I would just invite anyone who wants to know ASCAP's true nature to google them and read the facts that are presented about ASCAP and make up your own mind.Just because I happen to be the only one carrying on this conversation with you at the moment doesn't negate the fact that you did "invite" others to do your research for you.
Again, if you make an assertion, the onus is on you and you alone to provide some credibility to that assertion, something you've continued to evade.
Again, let's see your evidence. All I've seen so far is one baseless assertion on top of another, with no corroboration whatsoever. Where is a single major exposé from a national publication? Hell, I'll settle for a small regional newspaper. Show me anything other than your repeated conjecture.

You know, at first I thought I had to come on this thread and demonstrate how wrong and bizarre your allegations are. But after this, I think you're doing a better job of that than I could ever do.
