LETTER S
JUKEIDX LICENSE
F•STIATIDH
am venting my frustration to your
I magazine
regarding jukebox licensing
policies. Here is a copy of my recent
letter to our attorney pertaining to this
issue.
"The following list is the most current
accounting of my jukebox locations. For
your assurance, all of my jukeboxes are
properly licensed; however, because of such
associated friends to my industry (as
BM!) and other such licensing leeches, I
will be actively phasing out most of my
jukebox accounts. These agencies are
rapidly pricing themselves right out of
their jobs! I hope I see them real
soon--standing right behind me in the
unemployment line. Pompous jerks. They
have the foresight of an IRS agent.
"After our industry is destroyed, let's
see how they fare with Muzak, or the
multitude of locations using radios for
entertainment, or M1V music on televisions
in bars and restaurants across the country.
Let's just see how long it takes these
short-sighted egotists to kill every outlet
available for their music. If no one will
play their music for fear of ridiculous
royalty payments or penalties, then let
them keep their songs to themselves and
let their fat attorneys find some other
struggling industry to destroy."
I am a member of the AMOA and
charter member of the IAMOA, as well as
serving on the state board of directors. I
have been in this industry for 20 years
and have seen many changes, but this one
takes the cake.
Thank you for your fine magazine.
Thanks for being there as an operator's
outlet for pent-up frustrations as well as
providing us with positive options for
survival.
