Ascap has been chasing us down about our Guitar Hero video games. We only have two of them but have been getting hassled about them. My understanding was this was a legally licensed game but ascap is saying that it isn't. we had one in a music venue and they are wanting us to pay a fine because they are basically saying it is used like a jukebox but its not because patrons are paying for the entertainment of the game not for the listening value of the music. anyone else had any problems with this?
ascap is saying we have to pay the $800 a year license to have it in this bar. this bar does not have the ascap license already because it does not do cover bands just simply original music so they have no need for the license. we gave the lady hassling us raw thrills number because our distributor told us that should clear it up but it has not.
ascap is saying they are going around the st. louis area and is going to push every one of these out.
