Uploaded by ArtistsHouseMusic on Mar 5, 2010
In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org - Todd Brabec is the Vice President and Director of Membership for the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). He talks about the differences between ASCAP and BMI. One of the main differences is the reason each organization was founded. ASCAP is a writer and publisher owned organization dedicated to enforcing the copyright law. BMI is a corporation owned by the broadcasting industry. The two organizations also differ in other ways such as payment formulas. Also in this segment, Brabec stresses the affiliation regulations. Writers have to join one or the other. However, writers are free to switch to the other organization. The significance of a good relationship with foreign societies is covered as well. Brabec also focuses on the importance of having a contact at the performing rights organization (PRO). Also in this segment, he offers some advice. Brabec recommends knowing information such as the PRO's philosophy and if they pay correctly in certain areas.

@anotherbowman, I'm just curious as to why your a 25 year member if you're not getting paid what your worth? What's wrong with switching to ASCAP?

I have been a member of BMI for 25 years and they seldom pay a typical songwriter royalties. I have had several songs published and a lot of air-play with very little money received.
Unless you have a free lawyer your are likely to lose.
