Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York
I am with a small roller derby team that contracts with a local roller rink for 3 or 4 games a year. Our contract states we split the gross proceeds 50/50 (about $2k a game in total) and that the roller rink is responsible for providing a DJ and pre-game and half-time music.
The roller rink has ASCAP and BMI licenses. Does the roller derby team need them too?

Only the establishment needs to pay the performing rights fees, so no, you do not need to pay. The only other thing is that the establishment needs to pay the third performing rights society, SESAC, as well.
