Beautiful, Russell! A LOT of minutes! WHich brings up a newbie question: does anyone know if ASCAP pays by the minute in a background situation like this? Or are there thresholds where a 2nd and 3rd usage kicks in?

I'm BMI, I'm not sure how ASCAP does it. Well, for that matter, I'm not sure about BMI either.
A quick read of the BMI royalty info doesn't indicate any kind of "tiered" system for background instrumental music based on length of use. However, there is a "super usage" for Background Vocal, Visual Instrumental, and Visual Vocal usages that go for more than one minute at a time. That wouldn't apply to my music in this episode since it is all background instrumental.
