many venues are going to feature "public domain" music and keep their

the venues deal but wouldn't it have been nice for the performer to know
that at anytime the fun police might bust in and shut down his gig?
Lol.
It kinda boggles me that given the laws that we are discussing
here...wouldn't it be in the BMI and ASCAPS best interest to REQUIRE
their licensed venues to put big signs on the walls saying "BMI licensed
venue" or something?

BMI or ASCAP weren't the ones who fired the piano player. The venue
did
because the owner was too cheap to pay the license fee or the fee plus
performer pay weren't offset by increased profits.
