Notice on Entertainment at Rascals Clubhouse Restaurant

According to BMI, ASCAP, and SEACAC says that besides broadcasting songs over the radio, television and Internet, the definition of performing copyrighted music includes playing it "any place where people gather," with the exception of small private groups. For restaurants, that includes playing songs as background music, by a DJ and even music-on-hold over phone lines, according to ASCAP's Web site. In today’s economy Rascals cannot stay in business handing out money to every one that comes along. We do not derive enough income from DJ’s, Bands, or playing Karaoke to pay the licenses fees. In the future Rascals suggests you bring your I-pods or portable DVD’s with earphones with you for lunch or dinner. We cannot play music or TV’s in the future.

Thanks,

Rascals Management
