      Just like BMI, Sesac has continued to harass my restaurant demanding that we pay them for licensing despite the fact that we use a licensing service which is our only source of music aside from original singer songwriters that perform their own music. Email after email, letter after letter. When I respond, it’s like they can’t comprehend we aren't indebted to them and just continue to repeat their demands.

      Our business closed on 12/31/22. We called SESAC is January and indicated this and to not bill our business.
      I just spoke to a "rep" located not in the USA.
      They argued on the phone with me and lied to me that SESAC had NOT charged my credit card. They then also lied and indicated that I, on a voluntary basis, paid SESAC from my bank account. That is not true. They also lied and indicated that my credit card on file was expired, thus they could not have charged my card.
      They also LIED and indicated that my account was/is not on auto renewal.
      SESAC illegally deducted $600+ in July of 2023 from my **** card. I emailed them the proof.
      I agree with other BBB reviews that they are akin to a crime organization, that steals money as they did with my business.

      SESAC is essentially the mafia legalized. They have constantly harassed me and my business, claiming that they, and they alone own all rights to music. I'm told that I cannot play live music in my yoga studio, that the use of a sound bowl, which resonates with the key of C, is copyrighted - that simple chanting of Om Shanti is owned exclusively by them - that the Fairness in Music Licensing Act of 1998 was replaced with the Sony Bono Act and that I am not even allowed to play the radio in my small yoga studio. They refuse to acknowledge licenses by other companies that I have used in the past such as ******* *****, ** for business, ************, **** - despite those companies claiming they have license agreements that allow me to play music. According to Jay M****l the only way they will stop harassing me is if I get a lawyer to sue to the company - and he refuses to send me the legit contact of any supervisor at SESAC. Of course, their 'representatives' also love to claim that for a small bitcoin fee it can all go away...such a reprehensible company!

      Same as everyone constant phone calls to my place of business and threats. I told them repeatedly to take me off their list because I am A member of *****. They do this in the middle
      of dinner rush when we are trying to take to go food orders. ROSS W***** claims to represent them and constantly calling and emailing.

      We appreciate the reviewer bringing this to our attention and will be following up with the consultant.  Should the reviewer wish to discuss music licensing further, we hope she'll reach out to our Customer Service team or visit the FAQ section at sesac.com.
