I don't think your use of copyright to sell a CD on CD baby has much
relation to the above. But if you are a member of ASCAP and I make a
copy of your work and share it then it is likely they would not be happy
about me doing so and would seek a payment in lieu or some form of
punishment.
Largely ignorant here but I think ASCAP and BMI would be if you performed the
work. I think it would likely be the Harry Fox Agency for mechanical
royalties.
