Not a criticism, just an addendum for anyone interested:
In the US, almost every bar/restaurant/venue is an ASCAP licensee, and it is relatively cheap (around $10/year/occupant for all forms of media), so a venue that wants to play live or recorded music, television broadcasts, etc., and seats 100 people would pay about $1000/year.
It's a very good price, and one of the main reasons that at any concert hall or arena, you will hear even huge artists playing covers without having to get them pre-approved.

Also using the song search it has none of the music I listen to so it seems useless. Edit: I was able to find 1 song. If YouTube could offer such a license I would prefer that since they have a larger catalog of music.
