Hasn't this always been the case?

I know one venue in SLC where bands can't play covers because they don't pay royalties to ASCAP/BMI/etc, so I was under the impression that almost all venues already pay royalties.

But saying that “This provides the majority of income to songwriters” is total bull****. Well, I guess it probably does for one hit wonder bands from the 80's.
