My (late) brother operated a pizza restaurant down in Phoenix, and a guy showed up one day during lunch, ordered a slice and a drink and dined in…
At the end, he came up to my brother at the counter, showed his card, and said he was going to send over an invoice for the music playing in the restaurant.
It was a radio in the kitchen playing for the workers, and people in the dining area could hear it.
He fought it, and won. More than likely, ASCAP didn’t want to spend a lot of time and money on one little restaurant in Phoenix, AZ.
My experience with ASCAP was when they tried to steal my (now closed) business 800 number by convincing my phone provider that they were buying it from us and they could transfer it. Forged my info. We got it back and some money from the phone company.
Absolutely they will!
