Gotta keep your eye on the ball...

Thought you all might be interested in the following thread. My guy at a music library I'm signed with sent this to me as a heads up so I thought I'd pass it along. Not a rosy picture being painted, we gotta be vigilant...eo.

It has been my experience that you can always find someone to confirm your worst fears. ;)

There's still a lot of money to be made in library music!

Well it's not really my worst fear, in fact it's not even close. I just thought the fact that some composers who belong to ascap aren't being paid royalties by certain television programs would be good info for people on this forum to know about.

Thanks for posting! I think everyone ought to see that thread, despite the generally negative tone. In the past, a writer's choice of PRO could be six of BMI vs half a dozen ASCAP, but in the music business that's coming, there will be more choices, and some could hurt your pocketbook for a very long time.
