コンテンツの権利の侵害者としての放送。ASCAPが権利金を上げて行った。
BMIがパブリックドメインの音楽を使い始めた。質が高いので大丈夫とタカをくくっていたASCAPは結局負けた。
以下はwikipediaより引用:
In 1940, when ASCAP tried to double license fees again, radio broadcasters started to boycott ASCAP and formed their own royalty agency Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI). During a ten month period lasting from January 1 to October 29, 1941, no music licensed by ASCAP (1,250,000 songs) was broadcasted on NBC and CBS radio stations. Instead, they played more regional music and styles (like rhythm and blues or country) that had been traditionally neglected by ASCAP. Eventually, the differences between ASCAP and the broadcasters were settled, and ASCAP agreed to fees much lower than in the preceding years. In the 1950s and 1960s, ASCAP initiated a series of lawsuits to recover the position they lost during the boycott of 1941, without success.
