When a band/musician performs a cover of someone elses music
in a club/bar aren't they required to pay a performance fee
to ASCAP,BMI,...ect. which in turn pays the original composer?
I realize that this would financially burden a multitude of
bands/musicians but theoretically isn't this required by law?

so long,
Dave
