Music licensing companies come calling for royalties

Next they'll come try and make me pay for singing a copyrighted song in the shower.

This is ridiculous, how do they know which songs were sung so the right person gets the money? They don't, they are just collecting money from any place that dares offer entertainment. If they can send people to small places like this for a couple hundred dollars a year, I bet there overhead is so high the "artist" don't get anything.

It's reports like this that give the whole music industry a bad name. The artist don't benefit from this crap, they probably started out working in places like this (and worst) and if they all go out of business or quit offering live entertainment, where will the new artist come from?

They're killing music by killing the training ground!!
