	Kasino.co.uk - The great rock'n'roll swindle part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Pay to play exploits bands, damages the live music scene in your town or city, makes it harder for bands to get an audience and bails out promoters who should get the hell out of the music business.
		Pay to play shouldn't be confused with a hall hire, which is when you pay a venue a hire fee (for example, Nice and Sleazy in Glasgow charges £120; the 13th Note Café, also Glasgow, charges around £60).
		Pay to play is killing the live music scene, and bands need to accept some responsibility for that.

	Navigating The "Pay Or Play" Minefield
		For example performer has become "pay or play" in connection with a particular project, the studio or production company is required to utilize the artist's services, but is required to pay him or even if it elects to proceed with a different actor or not to produce the project at all.
		The director would argue that her "pay or play" language was triggered when the studio agreed to make the actor "pay or play," and that her agreement didn't condition her "pay or play" rights on the actor’s exercise of his screenplay approval.
		Even those dealmakers who perceive some advantage in leaving the "pay or play" language in a deal vague rather than clarifying terms in such a way that they are plainly to their clients' disadvantage or limit their options should carefully examine the potential consequences of high-risk strategies if they have misjudged the issues.

		The indies are the shadowy middlemen record companies will pay hundreds of millions of dollars to this year to get songs played on the radio.
		Sure, once in a while the indies showed their appreciation by sending some cocaine or hookers to station employees, but the colorful crew of fix-it men were basically providing a service: forging relationships with the gatekeepers in the complex world of radio, and turning that service into a deceptively simple and lucrative business.

	2006 pay or play
		The term "pay or play" relates to states requiring employers to provide some level of health care benefits to their employees or pay the state back for the costs incurred from treating the uninsured.
		AB 1705 is similar, requiring large employers with 10,000 or more workers in the state to pay a minimum wage of $9.68 an hour, with benefits totaling no less than $4.17 per hour.

		"Pay to play is fundamentally in conflict with that premise." He says it also adds a new dimension to placating angry parent who protest when their child sits on the bench.

	Will Congress tackle pay-for-play? - Salon
		As Salon reported in March, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), acting on behalf of the major record labels tired of paying escalating fees to "indie" promoters, was preparing to ask the FCC to revamp its payola laws.
		The way pay-for-play works today is that independent promoters pay radio stations for the exclusive right to "represent" those stations, to act as a kind of middleman between the radio station and the record company.
		Generally, the indies pay between $100,000 and $400,000 per station, depending on the size of the market.

		In Vegas parlance, Wallace is a "four-waller," the term used when an entertainer pays for his or her stage time.
		For the entertainer — often an aging star or perhaps one who never made the showbiz A-list — four-walling is a huge roll of the dice, with odds of success that make the craps tables look inviting.
		Performers like Wallace, who is entering his third year at the Flamingo, can make four-walling pay if they sell enough tickets to make their rent and payroll, which for him is no small matter.

		The implication, should the trend continue, is that playing a sport at a public high school is a privilege to be paid for, not something earned through effort.
		We have also found that, in some instances, parents feel that because they are paying they have the right to control when their child plays in a game.

		Interesting, this is a term that most companies and their investors can agree on if they approach it from the right perspective.
		In a pay-to-play provision, an investor must keep "paying" (participating pro ratably in future financings) in order to keep "playing"(not have his preferred stock converted to common stock) in the company.
		A Qualified Financing is the next round of financing after the Series A financing by the Company that is approved by the Board of Directors who determine in good faith that such portion must be purchased pro rata among the stockholders of the Company subject to this provision.

	Dan Lewis on MLB Revenue Sharing on National Review Online
		Rainouts had required the Mets to schedule very rare back-to-back double-headers, and they were about to play four games at home over two days, against a fourth team, one that was essentially out of the playoff hunt.
		At the same time, let’s assume the Marlins were playing in Montreal and only 5,000 fans showed up.
		Even worse, if a team is allowed to blow shared revenue without penalty — and we hardly want to give the commissioner’s office expanded power to nullify a team’s transactions — said teams will cry poverty even louder, with more money flowing from New York to the rest of the league.
