in a slam-poetry style with no musical accompanying. My performance was unadvertised. It was the middle of the afternoon when the bar was always open. For nothing. Now, was it 'mine'? Arguably, I came up with the 'style' even if it's not my words.
Like you say, you don't know about enforcement, and neither do it. I bet nobody is going after the bar owner for my performance, even if an ASCAP/BMI agent was there that day.
If the bar owner plays With or Without You off the CD they bought in 1988 on the Bar PA system, then it's obvious.
Not sure why we're talking past one another here. I would bet ACTUAL enforcement ... is limited to the latter-type scenario.
If you know different, feel free to share your experience/knowledge ... I'm just guessing as I've said, and I always like to learn
