Our museum is receiving demands from a outfit called SESAC stating that we have to buy a license fee for music.  Our non profit does not play music on a regular basis.  We allow the use of a hall by third parties for a donation fee and those using the hall hire bands, but we do not pay the bands.  In the past year we have had one car show where we had live music that we paid for.  We do not charge admission, and any fees or donations we receive only offset expenses.  Does anyone have any experience with these guys or have any advice about whether or not we need a license.

We pay fees annually to SESAC to cover any music that might be played in our facility.  It is a fee based on annual visitation.  Fairly easy to manage.
