Abstract
"this just in" piece on Acoustic Coffee in Portland, which offers live music and open-mic nights. Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI) recently informed the club that under U.S. copyright law, they must purchase a license from them before anyone in the cafe plays any of the 4.5 million songs in the BMI catalogue. Co-owner Margaret Lyons said the venue cannot afford the license fees, and that the club plans to require future performers to sign a contract agreeing to play only original music not licensed by BMI.
