I read on some forums local TV Channels use a «national performance license» and as such watching those channel is illegal but I have yet to see any proof of that. (politics.stackexchange.com)
If I pay public performance licensing fees to ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, what is the correct way to obtain music files that are covered by these PROs? (law.stackexchange.com)
Performance licenses take three business days to process, and are valid until December 31 of the year in which they are issued. (downtownsm.com)
