Now for those who say there is no money to be made in a criminal prosecution you're not really correct. Though you will not get any money from that case, the evidence gleaned is a big boost for a civil case. Even if the criminal case is lost, there can be enoough there to win a civil case. Remember OJ, won the criminal case but lost the civil suit. In fact in the long run it's cheaper to run a civil case after the criminal case is done as the government has paid for the important evidence in the elements of the case.

what kind of penalty does the venue face, for example, if their KJ was found to have a pirated library?

Any?

I own a bar, and I pay my BMI and ASCAP fees, so it shouldn't matter what they are using. I'm good on my end.

At least I think so. Any thoughts on this?


It is the opinion of our legal team that a venue who controls the premises and benefits from the infringing act may be at risk for vicarious liability and possibly contributory infringement.
