(Book). On February 13, 1914, a group of the nation's most
distinguished and popular songwriters gathered together in New York
City to support the mission of ASCAP, a new organization for
publishers and songwriters. A few years later, ASCAP received its
mandate from the Supreme Court to collect royalties for the public
performance of copyrighted material. Over the course of the next
century, ASCAP has been as prominent a force for the advancement
and nurture and financial well-being of songwriters as any record
label or publishing outfit one would care to name. With a
responsive board of directors made up entirely of
songwriter/composer and publisher members, ASCAP has defended
creators' rights at every turn against those who would seek to
devalue music. Today, with copyright under renewed assault, its
mission is as resonant and vital as ever, along with its relatively
new role as a nurturer of the young artists who represent the
future of music. Award-winning music writer Bruce Pollock explores
the growth and changes within this complex society and its
relationship to emerging technologies, in the context of 100 years
of an ever-evolving music business, to see how ASCAP has become,
for those who hope to make a living making music, now more than
ever, "a friend in the music business."
