Better yet, the bank that was robbed was the lender that financed the getaway driver's car purchase, so really they are responsible for robbing themselves.
If the RIAA and MPAA want ISPs to filter unauthorized content and block "rouge" sites, Why doesn't the RIAA and MPAA start a zero cost filtered ISP.
Users would get free access to email, netflix, spotify, pandora, iTunes, Amazon and other authorized sites, but block access to ThePirateBay, block access to ISOHunt and RapidShare, block the use of Vuze, and all the other things they don't like.
Or even better. Start a cheaper unfiltered ISP and start making money off all the infringement users do anyway. I mean they already make money from unsigned artists who have their music on spotify by owning a portion of spotify. How would running an ISP be any different?
Those movie nights are usually in public or municipal parks. The City or county does pay a license for all parks in their control, but not on a movie-by-movie individual use basis.
No it isn't advertising. The same way eating a BigMac isn't an advertisement for McDonalds. You got to pay for that shit.
If the music is part of the experience of the restaurant, then it needs to be paid for. If the music wasn't important to the experience then the restaurant should have just put on the radio. The public performance license is already paid for at the broadcasters level with radio.
BMI has never lost a case. They don't go to court unless they are justified.
We'll start the bidding at $75 trillion. $75 trillion... anyone.... Larry? $75 Trillion to Serge? Eric how about you? $75 trillion? Does anyone have $75 trillion. Damn back to the negotiating table.

RIAA and MPAA and IFPI should start a $0.00 cost filter ISP

Bundling
I doubt Larry, Serge and Eric have enough money to satisfy Doug Morris, Lucian Grainge, Edgar Bronfman Jr., and Citigroup.
Getawy Driver
What if the bank robber hailed a taxi to the airport? Is the taxi driver an accomplice?
What if the same bank robber gets on a Delta Airlines flight to Italy? Is the pilot an accomplice? What about Delta Airlines?
