| This happened once before
Back in the late 80's the RIAA put the screws to Square and Round dance callers in this same way. After all, the callers were making money off of records they had already paid for. Only problem was, most callers did not make much money, and most of that went to new records or equipment. It was more a labor of love for most of them and akin to most people going jogging after work.
After finding out that forcing the callers to pay more for one night than most clubs TOOK IN for a year was a bit like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, they ended up taking a yearly fee from the umbrella association that many of the callers paid dues to.
Another example of greed without thinking.
