Well this article goes back to our old friend (the copyrighted) Happy Birthday song.
The City of Pittsburgh wants to sing the song to celebrate it's 250th birthday. The article touches on the idea of public performances. It gives some estimates at what Movie Studios pay to use the song in a film. It also mentions the bad PR ASCAP got from threatening the Girl Scouts for singing copyrighted songs around the campfire. Interestingly, ASCAP is now offering the city it's entire 8 million song collection for use during public parades and celebrations for only $4000 a year...that seems like a steal to me!
