I'm with ASCAP as a publisher and with BMI as a writer and publisher.

ASCAP, BMI - you're playing the music industry like a symphony with those dual memberships!

Like so many "Gateway" organizations, consider VERY carefully if membership is actually necessary. They spend a lot of money and use gang member tactics to convince you that you MUST subscribe to their services; but do you? If you do believe it is a necessary service, read the contract, understand the contract, and REJECT the contract if you disagree with ANY part of it. If they will not make/allow modifications, then just say no. In addition, given how much money they make, why are they charging the creators?

I signed up with BMI about 3 years ago. Glad I chose wisely years ago

this is great except you need to update it now that BMI is for-profit and has a cost to join...

@nathanielbenford7928 2 ай бұрын

Only for new signees? Or do you pay no matter how long you been with them?

@RobinOHerinBlues 2 ай бұрын

@@nathanielbenford7928 they are not charging to join, if you are asking about publishing that costs $150 for ascap and bmi...not a joining fee.

I've read that if you don't have a publisher, you need to register with a PRO both as a songwriter and a publisher. Is that correct, and would have to pay the fee twice?

@@EliteMusicCoaching I'm really not interested in establishing an LLC. I did that for a book, and it wasn't worth it. I assume if my music gets a decent return I could create an LLC later. My main question is if I don't have a publisher how do I get the songwriter and publishing royalty from the PRO?
