Eat in silence, ASCAP’s listening
Hey ASCAP: Get of my lawn! There is not enough room on this page for me to post all of the lawsuits ASCAP has lost due to not paying artists money they supposedly represented. Their history of prioritizing the interests of the major label system (monetization, lobbying, etc) over indi-artists is abysmal. While ASCAP has had a strong arm in San Diego to collect fees from venues (large and micro... such as Smitty's), it's history of paying writers (unless you have sold millions of physical media copies) is terrible. http://www.woodpecker.com/writing/essays/royalty-… and https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100518/234129…— July 11, 2014 12:03 p.m.
