Even original music is covered by BMI or ASCAP, if the artist is a 
member of a PRO.  Theoretically, you get back your fee since the music 
is your own, if statistical sampling makes you a blip on the PRO's 
radar.  The venue gets out of paying only if 100% of the music is in the 
Public Domain or is by an artist who isn't a member of a PRO.

Cheers,

Bill
