This would change if it was the performer who had to pay the PROs, as was suggested under another topic. Provided of course that the venue paid the performer, which is sometimes not the case. The performer is more likely to be in "the music business" than some bar owner, who can't be bothered with copyright paperwork.

We need to find a way to make performance reporting easy enough that somebody will go to the trouble of doing it, who does not employ a person (as a radio station does) whose entire job is to track such things.
