It depends what kind of business they're in. If they make money by creating, licensing, or selling copyrighted products (publishers, movie studios, record labels), they're in trouble if someone starts infringing on them. Printers and CD/DVD duplicators are also careful to ensure that the projects they're given aren't infringing. Small businesses, especially restaurants, can be put out of business by an ASCAP "sting" if they aren't properly licensing music being played in their establishments.
Law firms specializing in IP, on the other hand, think it's lovely.
