1st of all YOU ALL MUST SIGN UP WITH SOUND EXCHANGE. They collect Rayalties from internet and Satellite. It's a MUST. To get regular checks from BMI it helps to have been picked up by the satellite networks and have hired...
seems to me if we the musicians love what you are doing, then we should help out with the cost, lets keep things going, i don't like the idea that BMI are any one else are trying to get into our business the Record labels...

Do you believe in fate? Several years ago I got a call from a fella, quite intelligent I might add, that invested a lot of time to explain to me his vision of the new digital revolution. He talked about a new copyright...
nedleigh, as Sister suggested, "ignore 'em" is not an option. And, as you suggested, "be cautious about throwing down the gauntlet right in their face"- it's only my desire so that when they come back to check up on us...
No, we shall not go away. We have the right to keep going as we are. I don't care if people use my music for free; it's to be enjoyed by ALL. This reminds me of strong-arm tactics from a giant who wants a monopoply. IGNORE...
I also belong to BMI and Sound Exchange and yes, they do pay me. It takes a lot of effort, mainly in the form of promoting and getting my music played in venues that BMI tracks (i.e., mainstream radio, TV and film, some...
Earcandy, your statements are more common than not. There are some, like Paul, that can find the time and energy to get what is due them, but for the most part, it's too hard and costly. See Dee's statement, and he's been...
Gordon, yes artists can donate content and waive their rights. This is how we have done it all along. We've always had a written agreement for the member to sign to make it work for us so BMI had no right to bother us. But...
I am a member of BMI and have received airplay and no money. They are impossible to deal with unless you have a lawyer. I would continue to do it and ignore them as they do musicians like me.
Paul, yes I can imagine how hard you have had to work to get from BMI what is due you. I've heard that story over and over again many times. Most often, the artist gives up. I'm glad it's paying off for you. And, thank you...
EVO - I appreciate the offer, and I'm sure some CMCers would be willing to chip in, but I just don't feel right asking. And it feels really weird that you, the artist, would be paying BMI, when in fact they are suppose to...
I say forget BMI. The really do nothing for most and make a profit from the big name artists who have lots of money. With the economy where it is (and its nowhere even near the bottom yet in my opinion - not near,) the...
Please help me understand. I thought BMI collected royalties on behalf of artists. I never signed any agreement with BMI, although others among us may have. What established legal right does BMI have to collect money for...
Ron: I'm at a point where I make pretty good money from BMI and Sound Exchange. It took alot of work on my part. Yet, I am all for folks using some of my music free. I also think you should aske for a minimal...
Hi Ron, Good to hear from you! It seems to me, that we have not come this far to fail! We are willing to kick in some bucks to continue, and I am sure there are other members that feel the way We do. Let's get our music...
