An interesting music business story that had been
in the news.

Ahh come on, no replies/comments? I would have
guessed this story would be of great interest to
any independant musician.
BMI alledgedly tried to take advantage of a
private owned business, and cheat an independant
musician by claiming representation of his own
work by fiat. (he was not a member of BMI)
BMI didn't want any music played publically if
not represented by big corporate interests. This
is very similar to the mob bosses, who used to
run the unions, threatening an independant
contractor's life who crosses the picket line.
Boo-hiss on BMI.
