Many restaurants and hotels play recorded music or have live entertainment for the enjoyment of their customers. By doing so, however, they are subject to music copyright laws. Rather than have to pay a percentage of each song played in the restaurant individually to song writers, which would not be practical, several music licensing societies (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC for example) formed to offer blanket licenses for these performances. Congress has affirmed the right of song writers and the use of these societies for enforcement of public performances of their music in hotels and restaurants. Businesses that violate the copyright laws, if discovered by one of the music licensing societies, will face lawsuit and eventually be forced to sign a contract with the music licensing society, or face heavy fines and penalties. BMI and ARHA have an agreement to offer discounts to members in exchange for the Association offering more education to its members on music copyright laws. ARA’s role is to provide the information to the members and let the member decide for themselves the need to enter into a contract with BMI. Restaurant members are eligible for a 10% savings, and Lodging members are eligible for a 1% savings on their BMI Music License. This savings is in addition to BMI’s built in 10% Timely Payment Discount, which is available to all hotels, bars, restaurants, and other eating and drinking establishments. This means that members of ARHA can save up to 20% on BMI fees. For more information, contact BMI at 800.925.8451, email jfrost@bmi.com or visit www.bmi.com/ede/.
