The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, ASCAP (or "ass cap," whichever you prefer), which collects royalty payments for copyright holders and represents them in legal disputes is going after pub owners who don't pay up when their musical acts play cover songs.
Do they really think Led Zep needs to get paid when a pimple-faced garage band plays a crappy version of Dazed and Confused? This could spell the end of mediocre musical acts everywhere.
About us
