How does BMI collect royalties from other PRO's?

[bobsstudio]

Hi all, I should know this one but I don’t. And if anyone can tell me where to go to get succinct info, I’d be grateful.

I’m with BMI and I get the usual statements. A lot of my royalties come from contracts that I have with Libraries in Canada and Europe.

Now these companies register my works with their respective PRO’s.

Presumably all the PRO’s talk to each other because I see where my music is being placed.

Question 1: How does this work?

Question 2: Should I be doing anything with BMI after I send my tracks to the various libraries abroad that I have contracts with. I have good personnel relationships with the owners so I do trust them. Just checking that I’m not missing out on something.

If you can point me to a url that deals with all of this thanks.

Best BobG

PS my Jan. statement same as last year.
