Do you know how many musicians have been put out of work because a club or small venue can't afford to pay the music Mafia Fee?




I would say no good musicians have been put out of work by laws requiring that songwriters be compensated for the use of their work. There are probably marginal clubs that can't afford to pay licensing fees but they can't afford the fees because they can't compete in the marketplace and don't have enough customers. The musicians that don't get to play there are not good enough to find employement elsewhere at the clubs that are doing well. I'm not going to shed any tears for them.
