Ah yes, but what if I get paid a significant amount of mead for my
singing efforts?  Do I need fear:

a) getting charged, as I have just made a profit, and will ASCAP be
taking some of my hard-earned mead, or

b) falling into the campfire, as I have just IMBIBED a significant
portion of mead due to a dry throat from singing?

And did the ancient harpers ever have such concerns to keep them awake
at night... no, this is all, definitely NOT period, therefor I
protest.   :)
