[edit] Karaoke
How can they POSSIBLY charge karaoke places to perform songs? Say I have a karaoke machine with 6000 songs. Does this machine submit which song is played back over the internet to a central server? I don't think so. This money they collect must be randomly distributed. If you are an obscure artist on a karaoke machine, you're not going to see much of it, if any, are you? 68.167.161.182 (talk) 01:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Awards
What is meant by the phrase, "ASCAP has an extensive awards program?" I know some of the awards listed aren't given by ASCAP. For instance, the Golden Globes are given by the Holywood Foreign Press and the NAACP Image Awards are, obviously handed out by the NAACP. Am I right about this list being off, or is there something I'm missing? --djrobgordon 06:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- In my opinion, "extensive" is an accurate description as it does not mean "all-inclusive." Also, the term was meant to refer to the number of music-related awards hosted by ASCAP, of which I think are many considering it is just one organization. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jabberwiki (talk • contribs) 01:59, 20 January 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Article name
As can be verified on the ASCAP website, there is no comma after "Authors" in the full name of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. When I attempted to fix this, I found that the correct article title is used as a redirect to the wrong one. — Athaenara ✉ 00:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] needs some discussion of anti-trust issues
ASCAP has long been controversial on antitrust grounds, as an organization dedicated to copyright pooling by ostensible competitors. They've been sued numerous times, and have lost some cases while winning others. An overview of this would be useful. A few references that specifically discuss ASCAP-related cases (as opposed to only the more general copyright-pooling issue):
- "Copyright Pooling and the Anti-Trust Laws" (1949). The University of Chicago Law Review 17 (1): 183-194.
- "ASCAP and the Antitrust Laws: The Story of a Reasonable Compromise" (1959). Duke Law Journal 1959 (2): 258-277.
- Ted K. Ringsred (1992). "Is Anticompetitive Misuse a Defense to Copyright Infringement?". ASCAP Copyright Law Symposium 39: 165-200.
