ASCAP, which was started in 1914 by Victor Herbert and some other composers, was created out of the necessity to bring order to a chaotic marketplace where composers and publishers had no idea when and where the songs were being performed. ASCAP serves as a clearinghouse for copyright owners to solve problems associated with the licensing of public performances of music. Today, ASCAP represents approximately 33,000 composers and 14,000 publishers. |

BMI is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1939 whose stock is owned by members of the broadcasting industry. BMI, which operates in the same manner as ASCAP, represents approximately 75,000 songwriters and 44,000 publishing companies. |

SESAC, founded in 1931 and predated the ASCAP radio strike by roughly 9 years, is the second oldest United States performing rights organization. The refusal of radio to play ASCAP records during the strike gave rise to SESAC. |
