ASCAP Rules Clarification?
Okay, as I know/knew it, ASCAP rules go like this:
(1) The license for broadcast only covers the broadcast to radios. If a station is broadcast over a PA system to, say, a retail store or a cafe, that business establishment owes a public performance fee to ASCAP. (2) There is an exception for retail establishments informally called the "Hot Dog Stand Rule", where the owner of a hotdog stand challenged ASCAP on its license fees arguing that his playing a radio at his stand was for his private entertainment only, not for the entertainment of customers. ASCAP or a court or somebody apparently ruled that if the audio unit is a self-contained stereo or boom box or something where only the existing speakers are used, then no fee is owed because it's deemed to be used for the entertainment of the employee, no the customers. HOWEVER, if the audio is piped through a PA system or through speakers not part of the self-contained audio system then it IS considered entertainment for customers and is therefore not exempt, and ASCAP public performance fees are owed. Can anybody here clarify this for me and/or point me in some direction where I can see a real ruling or contract info or something? Thanks. And yes, I do intend to contact ASCAP directly, it's just that I'd like to be able to get a faster answer here first. |

No only the lands in play. The card means all your lands can produce black mana in addition to the other mana it produces.
