Are you supposed to able to get fined for music when not broadcasting?


Recommended Posts

Is that intended behavior? I was hit with a $25,000 fine with a company whose biggest popularity was a 12 in 1 region (largest attendance like 160), and no broadcasting deal. Seems like that shouldn't be a risk at such a small size. Is your company supposed to be selling dvds or streaming or something?

Yeah you can be hit as a company of any size, however the smaller your company the less likely it is to happen. It looks like you just got a real bad dice roll but ultimately the corporate overlords will crack down on anybody and even a fan uploading a video from their phone to youtube could reasonably be headcanoned as to why it happened.
