And last I heard, it is an all-or-nothing license for BMI,
ASCAP, etc. No partial payment for playing less than 10 percent
music, such as for talk stations.
Which means that when a sports-talk station is playing
Gary Glitter's 'Rock & Roll', as a theme, there is a probability
that he is missing royalty payments on that.

Re resp:142,resp:143: There are special rules for songs used as the
opening or closing themes for radio shows. If less than a certain
percentage is used, half the normal royaly is owed *if* the song is used
as both the opening and closing theme. If it's used for an opening or
closing, but not both, then no royalty is owed. So The Pretenders don't
get anything out of Rush Limbaugh's broadcasts, for example, since he
only uses "My City Was Gone" as an opening theme.
I believe these licenses are also "compulsory", which means that as long
as a station pays the royalties they can't be refused the right to play
the song.

"DVD Jon" Johansen, the author of the DeCSS DVD-decryption software, has
been acquitted (again) by a Norwegian court of appeals.

No word yet on whether the verdict will be appealed.

I tend to think it comes with the territory.
