Well, there are two possibilities: 1. The ASCAP, BMI, and SECAM licensing fees were paid by the COLLEGE instead of the radio station as a part of a SITE license. This is legal. 2. Your station was breaking the law. Non-profit, non-commercial, educational radio statios still have to pay licensing fees. Note: I would have posted this publicly, but our site's PNEWS has somehow become fouled! I don't mind if you re-direct this mailing to r.m.gaffa. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Tony Shepps ashepps@telesci.uucp | "A statesman is a dead politician.
