Copyright: Twentieth Century Music Corp. v. Aiken--Infringement Liability of a Restaurant Owner for Reception of Radio Broadcast for the Enjoyment of His Customers

Oklahoma Law Review, 30, 201-13, 77

The acts of a hotel or restaurant proprietor who receives a radio broadcast of a copyrighted musical composition and makes the broadcast available to his customers have been held to be both public and for profit. Whether the acts of the hotel or proprietor constitute a performance--for which infringement liability would exist--is doubtful. (LBH)
