Sorry ASCAP, a ringtone is not a performance :-(

Says ASCAP: "AT&T has gone much further than Napster ever did."
Says US District Judge Denise Cote: "Puh-leaze." (Not in so many words).
Say the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Knowledge, and the Center for Democracy & Technology: "This ruling should also protect consumers who roll down their car windows with the radio on, who take a radio to the beach, or who sing "Happy Birthday" to their children in a public park (remember, ASCAP once demanded royalties from Girl Scouts for singing around the camp fire!)."
