BMI QUESTION

[Dobber]

On 45s most of them say BMI to which I understand is that the song is registered,so what does it mean when the 45 DOESNT have BMI on it?

thanks

From memory - The song hadn’t been registered with the BMI for copyright purposes. If the artist has a publishing deal the publisher will do it. If not, it’s down to the artist to do it. If it’s not registered the songwriters won’t get any publishing royalties from airplays and performances. The other big copyrighter is ASCAP.
