Has anyone been harrassed or threatened by BMI and hit with accusations of copyright infringement for playing music in their tap room?
I have a Pandora for business account which states that it is set up to preserve your 'peace of mind.' So I believe I'm covered.
But with a very new tap room and the first time having a band in (playing original tunes) and within 2 weeks I receive 2 phone calls, a letter and an email as well as a threat that I'll be hearing from their lawyers - it's all a bit messed up. They've been trolling my Facebook page siting my Facebook posts.
I'm in compliance as far as I can see, but resent these tactics. My stance is to provide no evidence of compliance and make them work for whatever case they are trying to build against me.
Research on this company online portrays them as bullies to say the least.
Anyway, after a week of just feeling a bit disturbed by it all, wondering if other breweries have had to deal with the phone calls, threats, emails, letters from the music police?
