DR>    No "law" that I know of.
Oh so it was an honor system type thing, eh??
DR>    Since there had been previous court cases in which the federal 
DR> courts had limited the demands of the ASCAP and BMI folks (with regard 
DR> to playing a radio to/in public), I assume someone told ASCAP to shove 
DR> it and a case ensued.  To my best recollection, the sleaziods at 
DR> ASCAP/BMI lost.  But I don't have that case in my file so I don't have 
DR> all the particulars, just what I recall reading in the papers. 
Cool, I'll have to look into it deeper, are you a lawyer or something?? 
DR>    I hope no one relies on my memory on this matter.  One should 
DR> always check the rulings themselves for the exact language and 
DR> incorporated nuances.
Love the disclaimer!!!
DR> Always look out for #1 and be careful not to step in #2
now that's a good tagline!!
