Sool our pros on to them sounds a wise move to me.</font> maybe - but what happens when every small time club/internet radio station/corner bar/coffeeshop/etc/etc that provides an outlet for undiscovered or entry-level talent goes away because of lawsuits? is that *really* good for anybody? people deserve to get paid for their songs, but *nobody* benefit from that climate except lawyers, rights orgs, and owners of songs that are big enough to garner significant play on the radio/jukebox/cover band. a more fair solution would be to approach club owners that are known to be in "violation" with some sort of amenable deal that would guarantee sustainable future business - rather than fining/suing somebody out of business for maximum short term profit. on a side note: i'm not a member of a pro, and i've also never once had a club ask me for a playlist. not that it would matter - because my set it all my own stuff. but i play approx 50 gigs a year -- not princely by any means but still a decent amount. i'm kind of surprised it hasn't come up. ------------------ kit malone http://www.kitmalone.com
