not really a difference. radio waves are 'open' just as much as the internet is - you just need the tools. but ASCAP/BMI don't go after every little pirate radio shit who broadcasts music from their garage. same as they can't go after every little website. like you said they'd shut down or the money wouldn't be worth it. but they could have done something about the BIG ones.
ASCAP
JUST started getting into the internet in general. their website was outdated and clunky as fuck for years. the same type of old farts that were behind the record companies were behind PRO's. that's what happened.
