    I’m doing some writing with 2 other people. Two of us belong to ASCAP and one has yet to join a PRO. Would it make sense for that person to join BMI or ASCAP? Thinking BMI just to see if anything comes their way that ASCAP didnt catch.

    No, not necessary at all. Co-writers can all be from different PROs.

    Thanks for the response. I know that we CAN all belong to different PROS but Im wondering if there is any advantage to having one in BMI vs all of us in ASCAP.Spreading it out would seem to insure that all captures of usages happen.Would there be any downside that folks have heard of?

    No, there is no advantage at all. Not worth thinking about IMHO.

    I’m coming to the point that we have to decide and I’m looking for any additional opinions on this? Two of us are ASCAP…would there be a viable strategy for the 3rd to be BMI? Seems like it would be a natural cross check?
