PART TWO:
PERFORMANCE RIGHTS SOCIETIES: ASCAP OR BMI?

By Darcie-Nicole Wicknick
Special to MusicBizAdvice.com

What you should know about BMI, from a members’ standpoint:
  • BMI’s books are closed to the public but also contends that although it is a corporation, it acts in a non-profit practice.
  • BMI has offices in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Miami, and London.
  • BMI was founded by Radio Broadcasters not by Writers or Publishers.
  • Both ASCAP and BMI offer news about the industry, member updates, and events. Both also offer apparel and gifts from an online catalog.
  • BMI’s website is difficult to navigate in the sense that information takes a long surf to find. But once you get to ABOUT BMI and click on FAQ you will find very useful help.
