And it gets nuttier.... newsflash in Canada. The music industry here says dentists and others who play CDs in their waiting rooms should be sending money to SOCAN because they are "broadcasting music and using it to relax their patients".


Can't help but think this is a "publicity ploy", or at least an "over reaching" negotiation ploy which will be given up by settling for "less".


I mean I see the point, but there is absolutely no practical way to enforce this, and if they try, hey, just turn on the radio (oops running afoul of re broadcasting rules????)

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
