RE: Composers should also get paid
Title: Message
Most
people don't have their music registered with both. As an artist wouldn't
you want to know who's flag you were flying under on any given
night?
You might not know: the
coffeehouse I ran was forced to buy an ASCAP license for music on Friday
night. But I didn't discuss it with the performers -- why would I?

been touring and playing over 100 different venues in
Texas, OK, LA, and
AR over the last four years and never once played in
an actual BMI or
ASCAP licensed venue to my knowledge.

Venues which
feature live music are required to have BMI and ASCAP
licenses unless
100% of the music performed there is original music not
covered by either
of those organizations. It is the responsibility of
the venue
organizer (owner in this case) not the performer to secure
such a
license. TH
