BLANKET LICENSES FROM VENUE PERFORMANCES
It would be very difficult to track every time "Stormy Weather" or
"Copacabana" got played on a jukebox or sung in a cabaret. For this reason,
every performance venue (depending on size), and every place that owns a jukebox, pays
blanket licenses to ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC that are shared among members as dividends. That
way, you as a writer are ensured of getting compensated for performances of your song in
live venues. Concert promoters regularly include ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC license fees in the
costs of putting on concerts.
