Yes, sounds good, on paper, until the band (YOU) actually have to pay the FEE.

I suspect under that arrangement the fee would then end up being not ONCE (i.e., lump sum annually or even forever for some TBD catalog of songs) but for EVERY performance you make of said catalog, real-time deviations from catalog not allowed - without new fee structure - and and honor system to send in extra money when you want to deviate real-time would never be allowed.

You'd end up having to post your entire allowable catalog of songs so that customers (venues) could pick and choose which bands/musicians they want based on the catalog.

It would end up being - who has best or biggest Jukebox list.
