Well, I think the very least they can do is honor cue sheets when they receive them. On the smaller networks ASCAP’s survey only captures several hours of viewing per quarter. So a lot is missed. Majot Networks get surveyed 24/7.
I’m sure BMI & ASCAP both have their flaws. The debate between ASCAP & BMI goes on…
John 🙂
I agree with Michael! ASCAP’s survey is so unfair. I’ve lost royalties on hundreds of shows because the survey didn’t catch them. And all the cue sheets were filled out properly and timely. Bummer!
I doubt it. It’s not in their interest to play games with the members. I’m sure ASCAP wants things to run smoothly. I’m thinking because most of ASCAP’s personel is working from home, that there’s a conflict between home computers and ASCAP’s main computers. Or, maybe some of their help are getting sloshed, being too close to their liquer cabinets – ha, ha.
Yes, though it was back in order today. Hopefully it will hold now.
That’s strange ORPM. You would think if someone was stealing your music, they’d change the titles. Makes me wonder if my music is safe for streaming only. Thanks for the appreciation of my track.
Best, John 🙂Yes, Art’s right on that. I have maybe a hundred of those tracks on Amazon. Here’s one: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=john+lawrence+schick&&view=detail&mid=F92DFED060FC930E2872F92DFED060FC930E2872&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Djohn%2Blawrence%2Bschick%26qpvt%3Djohn%2Blawrence%2Bschick%26FORM%3DVDRE
Good idea Music 1234!

Thank goodness ASCAP always lists by date of submission. Any new title goes on top the list and highlighted. I wish they’d do the same for cue sheets. Sometimes it takes me an hour to find new cue sheets.

Unless it’s a work-for-hire I always compose for myself first. Music is my life’s work. I don’t want to be a copycat composer. No satisfaction in that. However I’ve purposely have composed in the style of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Gershwin, Albenez, etc. Kind of novelty tracks. “In the stlye of”, but still original. Like this one: http://schicksville.com/Mozart%20Imposter.mp3
BTW, just because you compose for yourself, doesn’t mean a library can’t use it.Best, John
I’m with you 100% ! Music creators are often their own enemy. I’m sure these companies will suck in many – and that’s sad.
“The main con is, at least ASCAP still sends you paper cheques, which are impossible to cash in The Netherlands.”
Can’t they make a direct deposit into your bank account?

Had to Google them: https://www.bumastemra.nl/en/authors-publishers/ Cost to join is more expensive than the USA PRO’s. Seems there’s an anual fee as well as a join-=up fee.
For a songwriter, membership costs:€45.76 one-off affiliation charge
€63.55 annual contribution
This means you pay €109.31 in the first year. That’s $128.72 in US dollars.
