We are paying a four-figure amount of licensing fees - unfortunately, those are "per room" - or rather "by capacity".

Ah, lovely, sounds very similar to the Hungarian way of things.

It'll probably boil down to having a complete setlist with all author names and adresses and written license documentation available in case we get any requests.

It seems like quite a big risk, as the law unfairly favors GEMA. This current German article - Die GEMA kassiert für eine Veranstaltung, auf der einzig CC-Musik lief - is about exactly that: a 8h dance evening with only CC music, for wich GEMA successfully demanded money.

If you want to help and you are a, or know a, German musician which is not part of the GEMA, please read this: Operation GEMA-Vermutung
