Cracking Down On Dentist Music (oooooh!)

Dentists in Canada are required to pay license fees if they play music from their iPods through their offices (and Big Music is enforcing it). When dentists heard about it, they wondered, “Is this for real? Some were bemused, some were, I guess you could say, upset. We were just caught off guard.’ Those offices that pipe music through speakers are now paying about $100 to $200 per year, depending on the square footage of the office. Dentists do not need to pay a fee if they play AM or FM radio in separate rooms for individual use.”
