by John Braheny The following resources will continue to be updated on an ongoing basis. PERFORMING RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS: BMI, ASCAP and SESAC Their basic responsibility is logging and collecting royalties for the public performance (radio, TV, clubs, restaurants and concert venues) of music for distribution to their writer and publisher members. Beyond that, they present showcases for new talent, offer grants and scholarships and support many helpful organizations and events in the music community. They also, along with other songwriting and publishing organizations, fight the battles to protect the royalty income of music creators and publishers. Via their websites you can get information on copyright legislation, showcases and educational events around the country, grant and scholarship applications and search their catalogs for songs, writers and their publishers (where you obtain licenses to use their songs). They also provide on-line clearance forms and cue-sheets for TV and film uses.
