The system that ASCAP is promoting for is only viable
in a debt based
economy. They want to ensure that people who claim ownership of the artwork
can get a cut of the money that is earnt from using the art/product for
financial gain after the money earned has been counted. In this case I think
it would be more appropriate for them to campaign for laws that require up
front payments by the industry for work that is intended to be used for
financial gain. It would give it's members a better chance of seeing some of
the cash they feel they deserve and force the industry to be clear about how
much money they intend to earn and are willing to part with for that
opportunity. It would also move them away from supporting and contributing
to a debt based economy which only serves the goals of the elite.
i have an account on CD Baby. there's a release there (you can check
it out if you want, its by a group called Global Illage). how does
what you've written above relate to my use of copyright in connection
with this activity?
