Robbie,  I wasn't involved myself and I got the story secondhand.
Elise Roenigk was there and could supply the details.  My understanding
is that they agreed to stop playing and were not charged the fine.
I don't know what credentials were offered.

 [ Thanks, Bob.  ASCAP enforces royalty fee payments at commercial
