Summary: And who gets royalties for Muz..

And why do none of the famous musicians complain about it?  If Muzak
adapts a tune by, for example, the Beatles, or by Stevie Wonder, or by Leonard
Bernstein (West Side Story), then the composer receives a royalty not for 
every tape, but for every PERFORMANCE.  Each time the recording is played in
any store the composer gets a royalty.  Many musicians become
quite wealthy because of the adaptations of their songs.
