By the time they consider publishing them (if at all), they are old news and off the charts. Public performance, BTW is compensated at the venue level by ASCAP or BMI memberships. The venue owners are expected (threatened) to join one of these publishing orgs and their membership money is distributed among the songwriters. So its not like they're not getting paid at all. They just want another income stream I think. I remain adamant that only paid performances are worthy of compensation and use of charts for study and personal pleasure ought to be free. Performances include mechanical performances (playing a CD) in a place of business (like a coffee house). Good artists copy, great artists steal. All artists are outlaws it seems. Well - so be it.

The only way to recover money from the people doing this was to get it when they bought the sheet music. Today, it's the opposite. You're much more likely to get your entertainment via recorded music, or at a public venue. Either of which already gets your money for the "artist". (Chyeah, you mean for the label.) So yes, they're shooting themselves in the foot for a short term gain. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
