Not sure you can call it a monopoly; Besides ASCAP and BMI, you also have SESAC and Stream Licensing plus PRS and Song Trust.
BTW if a mom and pop wants to play music in their store, they are permitted to have a single speaker radio playing and can avoid all of the licensing fees.

Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
BMI and ASCAP just want their monopoly to be unregulated.
Of course the other part that was laid out. Was just to prove how the left around here doesn't read links.
While Barr has yet to weigh in on the fight, the Antitrust Division alarmingly opened a review into these decrees in June, just months after ASCAP and BMI made their big push.....snip~
