How Big Is the Size of the Market for Passive Use?

ByRobert Henson, paca president (2010 - 2012)How big is our industry? Perhaps it is as big as we want to envision it.

In the mid-nineteenth century, a Parisian composer stopping in to a café heard a tune he wrote performed live by the house band. He refused to pay for his drink, stating that he himself didn’t receive compensation from the café owner for the use of his music, which drew clientele. There was a suit in the French courts, and the government’s decision fell to the composer—a triumph for copyright. Equally if not more important, the government instituted an office that administered royalties for all performances to copyright holders.
