sounds fun. What kind of licensing deal did they make that enabled them to show these films in a commercial establishment?
@anon 10:40,
I'm guess that they contacted the studio in question, got a public performance license, and paid the fee. It isn't that hard to do.
cool. Can we make the same assumption for all of the bars on the strip that play .mp3's off of laptops?
@11:12,
Feel free to write ASCAP or ask the individual bars. It's probably more effective than posting fake questions on a blog, eh?
What makes a question fake? Seems to me a question is a question. No need to get defensive.
11:47,
I'm not being defensive. I wouldn't have a reason to be defensive. If someone repeatedly (over the course of a few years) posts the same question in an accusatory tone and never approaches those who could actually answer it, that seems like a fake question to me. If that person is concerned about a copyright vio, he should check with the establishment, or with ASCAP. Continually posting comments here suggests the real motive isn't concern with compliance, but enjoying making vague accusations. It's annoying.
