Subject: SESAC licensing From: Stewart Date: 02 Nov 00 - 06:17 PM I previously posted this under the "Help:ASCAP, copyright question" thread, but it should probably be a new thread. Anyway, I coordinate an open mic for a non-profit acoustic musician org in Seattle (Victory Music) at a restaurant. Neither performers or restaurant gets any money. Cover charge for non-performers goes to Victory Music. The restaurant is licensed with ASCAP and BMI, but recently received letter from SESAC saying they had to license with them also. I know nothing about SESAC - who do they represent? Most of our performers are singer-songwriters who do their own stuff, but sometimes people sing covers. What should I tell the restaurant owner? And what value is ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC for the folk music songwriters? It seems almost like an extortion (protection) scheme to make money for these organizations. How much money actually goes back to the songwriters? How many other similar organizations are there? |
