    hi. i'm not going to attempt to answer your question directly,
    but here is a very informational piece written by Jamie Zawinski,
    proprietor of the latest installment of san francisco's DNA Lounge
    nightclub. it talks about copyrights, licensing, royalties, and
    attempts to dissect how and why ASCAP, BMI and the RIAA are
    nobody's best friend.

    there are a handful of links at the bottom of the page
    for more info if the page doesn't satisfy you or you
    still haven't an answer.
