A new restaurant opens in town: Louisiana Fried Crawfish (LFC). It's a small strip-mall style restaurant (only about 1,000 square feet). Owner Bobby Boudreaux likes to play New Orleans-style music in the store for his customers, so he pipes in from its website KNO-AM over the store's speakers. In order for LFC to stay out of trouble with the law, it must pay KNO-AM each month for use of the station, because the station enhances the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Question

The restaurant is clearly below the limit established by Congress so it would not have to pay to play music. It is also the case that if LFC did have to pay, it would be to the music's license holders (ASCAP and BMI) and not the radio station.
