“Since February 2015, BMI made more than 40 attempts to contact The Trap by phone, mail and email, in an effort to educate the business owner about the value music brings to their establishment, the requirements of copyright law, and the importance of maintaining a music license,” Jodie Thomas said. “We never want to see the music go away, but if our licensing efforts are unsuccessful, we might take legal action, which was the case with The Trap.”
