Registering a song w. 4 co-writers, all in different PRO's

Post by remmet » Wed Apr 30, 2014 3:12 pm

Anyone have a clue about how 4 co-writers, each in a different PRO (BMI, ASCAP, APRA, and PRS), should register the song with their respective PRO's? We are equal co-writers and co-publishers.

I've left messages with BMI (my PRO), but so far haven't gotten any response.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks!

Richard

Every PRO has seems to have access to the an international registry of artists registered with any international PROs. When i called my PRO about a similar question they could search their database and immediately confirm that my co-writer was registered with "abc.." PRO.

Therefore, you can just go ahead and register the tracks with your PRO as long as you use the correct names for your co-writers. When royalites arrive, they will manually find and link all the co-writers to the song.
