[NJARC] Fw: Please God, Help me stop the Muzak!

[Joe Connor]

A few years ago, ASCAP went after the Girl Scouts and wanted to collect royalties for songs sung around the campfire.Ascap Asks Royalties From Girl Scouts, and Regrets It

  You can always play music that is in the public domain.  As far as I know, Bach isn't collecting royalties.  But like everything else, there are caveats.  See:http://www.publicdomainsherpa.com/public-domain-music.html

But getting back to your original problem, FM radio is the way to go instead of recorded music like MP3 and the like.See: http://www.askamusiclawyer.com/archive/can-i-play-the-radio-at-work-without-paying-music-licensing-fees.html
There is a list of requirements to be exempt, see if you qualify.Jim
