I am trying to figure out if it would be worth pursuing the accurate tracking of live performance music. Total PRO license fees collected in the US are about $1 Billion per year, with BMI and ASCAP about evenly split. Does anybody know approximately how much of that $1B is from unmonitored licensees? That is, from the kind of establishments we have been discussing here. Would a PRO tell me if I asked?
If the distribution of songs in live performance is noticably different from what gets played on the radio, TV, movies, etc (as we all all suspecting is the case), it might be in somebody's interest to get it more accurately reported.
