Most copyrighted music is licensed for use by BMI and ASCAP (organizations that represent musicians, composers, and publishers of music). They charge set fees to music users through "blanket licensing," which does not allow music users to bargain over price. This was attacked as price fixing. The Supreme Court held the practice:

a. legal using a rule of reason analysis because otherwise the market could not function well b. legal because it involved copyrighted material not subject to the antitrust laws
c. illegal under a rule of reason analysis, ruling that prices must be negotiated or that there must be many more price categories than before
d. illegal under the per se rule against price fixing e. none of the other choices
