Yes. Any venue that plays music is probably playing copyrighted music and has to pay royalties to ASCAP/BMI.

When you copyright a song is that the same as ASCAP?

No. If you write something, you automatically own the copyright to your work (unless you have previously assigned it to someone else). However, copyright is just the first step in being able to collect royalties from your work. Performance-rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC are (ostensibly) in the business of collecting royalties from the live performance or playback of copyrighted music (in public venues, on radio, television or on the internet) and distributing the royalties that they have collected to the composers and publishers, proportionally to the size of the audience and the number of times the music is played.


What is the average number of royalties received by music writers each year?

Song writers do not receive much in royalties for writing a song they receive about 9 cents for a song if it gets put on a CD and also get paid for when it's played in concerts, theaters, etc. But if they make on average about $5000 a year in royalties but $5000 is better than nothing. And if their song is a a million dollar record they receive a little over $22,000 for that song.

What are the copyright issues with use of music in a site?

Basically, if you're having a song play streaming, which is the most likely, you'll have to pay royalties to Sound Exchange if you want to do it legally. You do this by buying a license which is probably based on the amount of traffic your site gets. They're the ones who handle royalties for digital music. http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/BIZ-WIKI/Licensing-&-Royalties/Digital-/-New-Media-Royalties.html


What is the legality of playing someone others song such as OneRepublic or Coldplay your own gig?

In theory, you should pay Royalty Fees to the MCPS-PRS (in the Uk) for the right to play someone elses music, however this is nearly impossible to police. My band regularly played Rage Against The Machine and Guns n Roses live for some time before we wrote our own music, and we never paid royalties. So, to answer your question in short, if you are performing someone elses music you should legally pay royalties but nobody is going to make you.
