They literally employ spies who come and eat in your restaurant or visit your business, write down what songs are being played then start sending you letters demanding high licensing fees for using their music. They do not listen to anything you may tell them. Including, as was the case with my client, that they are paying for the music under an agreement with a commercial music provider. If you do not accept their terms, then they sue you. And you get to pay to defend yourself. I have defended these cases. So I am predisposed to be against BMI in every case, but this one I have to agree that the park was quite dumb to bring this suit. Especially if what this article says is true and they were performing music without a license. Sometimes people have more money than sense.
