Hi Mitch -

I believe the organization that covers the Pacific rim region is called SESAC. I apologize for not knowing what the acronym stands for.

ASCAP or BMI.

Apologies for a bit of a sidetrack, but I was wondering if anybody might know the answer to a simple related question.

ASCAP & BMI cover North America and parts of Europe, while GEMA covers Germany and I recall at least one other for Scandinavia.  Does anybody happen to know the organization that would be their equivalent for Asia -- Japan in particular?

TIA!
