Hi ComposerLDG – I admit I don’t know enough about what’s being proposed in the legislation but I too am going to start paying more attention. What I have is concerning.
A few months back ASCAP sent out a mandatory survey of all ASCAP composers asking questions like “Would you pay for the services you receive freely from ASCAP now or move to another PRO?”. Which sounds to me like ASCAP is, at minimum, reviewing their current model and attempting mitigate any future risk to earnings.
How much of that has to do with pending legislation I’m not certain but to take your post a step further the industry will be collectively impacted.
