Yeah I live in the capital city for my state and hear bands cover songs all the time. Technically the bar is meant to pay a fee to One music which allows them to have bands cover pretty much all commercial music but unless it’s a proper pub venue I doubt they all do it.
BMI is specificslly the global version. If you live somewhere that never sees an enforcement member, that’s great for you, but the law still applies. You just don’t live somewhere where they bother to enforce it.
Must be a regional thing. All the places I went to in Australia has no issues with covering music.
