Take a look at an ASCAP press release:
http://www.ascap.com/press/2005/infringement_012405.html

They say that "During 2004, ASCAP achieved a 100% success rate with
its copyright infringement litigation, with all concluded cases
resulting in either a cash settlement or a judgment in favor of ASCAP
members."

Below that there is a list of places which seem like restaurants and
bars.  It seems ASCAP does pursue infringers, and if you don't pay for
the license ASCAP could take you to court.

dreamlayers,

If you researched and found out the percentage of those in
non-compliance that actually were prosecuted (to comprise that 100%),
then 3006-ga would have the answer.
