He had 100,000 baht with him if he needed that for bail.

 

Pol Col Apichai said that the matter could still be resolved without recourse to the courts.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeasy.

Its not only Thailand.....its world wide....Copyright is valid for 60 years...Every place that plays music ie Bars Restaurants even Hairdressers if they play music....usually a bar or restaurant pays an annual fee that covers Djs, Bands etc....Don't know if you have heard of Vera Lynne, a very popular English singer during WW2 and after.....think she is now about 95 and she complains about the 60 year copyright because people are playing her songs and she is getting nothing :)

 

 I wonder how on earth they would know who should get the royalties? Most bar bands play "Hotel California" & I would imagine very few play "How Much is that Doggie in the Window"... Did VL do "We'll Meet Again"?
