ASCAP & BMI: Who Are They? What Do They Do? (3)

  

  ASCAP BMI
Special Distributions  Where substantial monies are received in a current year for prior periods, ASCAP has included those monies in special distributions. These are designed to direct the royalties received to those members who had performances in the years in question. Members of foreign societies participate in these distributions. Special distributions have been made from monies received from the ABC, CBS and NBC television networks, local TV stations, MTV and HBO, among others. Specific explanations are forwarded to all members as to how their shares of the overall distribution were determined.

When

retroactive

monies have been received by BMI, they generally have not been paid out in the form of special distributions

to writers and publishers who has performances during the periods for which the monies were due. Where special distributions

have been made little information has been provided as to how each writer's and publisher's royalties were determined.
Foreign Performances  Through agreements with foreign societies in the major countries of the world, ASCAP receives royalties for the performances of works written by ASCAP members which are performed in foreign countries. In 1999, ASCAP collected for its member $134 million in foreign performance income. ASCAP also collects for foreign society writers and publishers for performances of their works in the U.S. and forwards those monies to foreign societies for distribution to their members. Has agreements with foreign societies for the payment to BMI of royalties due affiliates for their performance in foreign countries. Does not publish foreign financial data. Forwards U.S. money to foreign societies for distribution for U.S. performances. 
Relations With Foreign Societies Agreements with practically all foreign societies provide that ASCAP licenses their repertories except for works specifically excluded. In most countries of the world, works go into BMI repertory only on specific request. 
Writter And Publisher Involvement Writers and publishers elect the Society's Board of Directors and a Board of Review. Writers and publishers sit on advisory committees which meet periodically in New York, Los Angeles, Nashwille and Miami. Open membership meetings in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville.  Writers and publishers have no say in the running of BMI. 
Treatment Of Writers And Publishers  All ASCAP writer and publisher members are treated alike, from the newest member to the most established member. Members are paid based on performances, not who they are. All similar performances are similarly credited. Members who have a complaint about the Society's distributions to them or the application of the Society's rules may seek relief from the Board of Review. No obligation to treat all writer or publisher affiliate alike. Affiliates aggreived by rules may seek arbitration with loser liable for both parties' legal fees.
