  • The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) is an unincorporated membership association that aggregates the licensing authority of thousands of composers, authors, lyricists and music publishers, and issues licenses affording users access to its collection of musical works. ASCAP represents approximately 200,000 songwriter and publisher members licensing a repertoire of over 4,000,000 copyrighted works. Each member has granted ASCAP a non-exclusive right under 17 U.S.C. §106(4) to license the nondramatic public performance rights to his or her compositions. ASCAP collects and redistributes royalties to its members. ASCAP issues a general license to radio stations for its entire catalog, with the fee generally based on a percentage of the station’s annual revenues (known as a blanket license). As with the other performing rights organizations, ASCAP has taken the position that its radio license agreement with traditional radio broadcasters does not cover performances on the Internet. A separate license agreement must be executed specifically authorizing performance of its catalog musical works over the Internet. ASCAP charges a license fee that differs depending on the use of its musical works on a website.
