First they would ask for proof the the songs were purchased legally in its digital format, then say that you would need to still the license as its still considered a performance.
Next to plate, radio manufactures demand a special license since the equipment is for home use and not commercial use. Since people go to the specific hairdresser because they use only certain branded equipment.
"Online movie piracy hurts more than just the big Hollywood Studios. There are plenty of indie films who have no theatrical release who are getting slammed by online piracy. VOD/DVD is the only way for these filmmakers to earn money. They are part of small business in America, why not protect them?"
What don't you blame or ask the big media companies and theater chains, they have a complete monopoly. They seem not to care about quality or expression, they always care about the short term.
"Piracy advocates say content creators (filmmakers, musicians, authors) need to think of new ways to distribute and earn income off their work. Funny thing is, when it comes to specifics, they have no answers."

I think you must mean the ones in Vancouver that has taken a whole bunch work for all the above?(Dam Canadians!)
"essentially, all that is being pushed for here is that all daily rental rooms in the city be subject to the same laws, and that includes "couch surfing rentals". that is to protect the client, the people in the neighborhood, etc. there is a whole bunch of things on the table here
Like those rules have stopped mugging, murders, in room theft, and the bed bug epidemic that's happening in NYC.
BTW a lot of the rules and laws that have been past the industry have fought against them, only when tragedy has hit they were forced to accept them.
