jon_chaissonSo ASCAP is considering making AT&T and Verizon charge for their ringtones on the basis that it's a "public performance".
Seriously? I think it would make more sense to charge those guys with the woofered-out cars and the motorcycles with the audio setups that drive past my apartment every day. I'd say that hearing some cheapass rap rattling my windows for minutes at a time while they're waiting for the light to change constitutes more of a public performance than six seconds of someone's ringtone.
