ASCAP Tease
Posted by Trott
I have been an ASCAP member for the better part of a decade. Despite having my ASCAP-registered songs played on radio broadcasts numerous times, I have never received a statement indicating that I am owed even a few pennies (and I have certainly never received any checks). This is not surprising, I suppose, but it is nonetheless irksome.
So I was a little hopeful when I received a piece of mail from ASCAP that looked like it might be a check. (ASCAP's slogan on the envelope: We create music.) Could I finally be receiving a check for $1.50 in royalties after all these years?!
No luck; rather than a check, it was an aggravating come-on for a credit card. Instead of We create music, perhaps their slogan ought to be We give your royalties to Stevie Wonder and Phil Collins.

Perhaps we should ban them?
Oh my God, yes! As if all that isn't bad enough, Mark Knopfler is registered with ASCAP! Ban them immediately!
If FBO fails to ban ASCAP, perhaps FBO will have to ban itself to get the point across.
