LICENSEQUOTE.COM SUPPORTS ASCAP's BILL OF RIGHTS FOR SONGWRITERS, COMPOSERS AND INDEPENDENT MUSIC PUBLISHERS
Music: http://www.musiclicensequote.com April 26, 2008 / Lake Elsinore, CA LicenseQuote.com founder/CEO Michael Borges has added his name to the list of people supporting ASCAP's recently published "Bill Of Rights for Songwriters and Composers" created by ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. The text for this Bill of Rights can be reviewed on the official ASCAP web page from this link: http://www.ascap.com/rights/billText.aspx The complete copy in PDF format, "Music Copyright In The Digital Age: A Position Paper" can be accessed and downloaded from this link: http://www.ascap.com/rights/pdf/BillOfRights.pdf This position paper contains the Bill of Rights summarized in 10 points along with a careful presentation of the issues which leads to a conclusion on page 22 followed by several pages of additional references and resources. "I read the complete paper intended for broad readership (songwriters, journalists, legislators, bloggers), and felt it was an excellent presentation on the key issues at hand" said Michael Borges of LicenseQuote.com. The position paper points out that "amid the many 'shades of grey' of the copyright debates, it is important to remember that some issues remain black and white" which ASCAP listed as highlighted below: * The creative people who bring vital art forms like music to life have the right to share in the profits generated by their work and earn a living from uses of their work. * The protection of copyright in the musical realm is vital to the creator who hopes to make a living from his or her passion to create. * Without this protection, many who dream of focusing their talents and energies on music creation will be economically unable to do so – which means artistic expression lost both today and to future generations. * Discussions about how copyright should adapt and evolve along with our changing society are both important and productive - as long as these essential truths are not overlooked in the process. LicenseQuote agrees, supports and applauds ASCAP's efforts to educate the general public on these important legal and business aspects of copyright law and the economic impact they have on the music industry ranging from songwriters and composers to labels and all levels of small, mid and large size music publishers. We agree that beyond this core group of creators, it also directly affects the rest of the media and entertainment industry that depends so much on created music to be made available for licensing from their various publishing efforts and ventures. Without proper compensation to the creators there is no budget to write and produce new works that have serious professional quality at competitively valued rates. LicenseQuote Music Licensing Solutions gives independent artists, songwriters and composers unlimited opportunities to publish and license their copyrighted materials to the music, advertising and broadcast media industries for commercial usage including: TV, cable, radio, advertising, film, video, theater, corporate, websites, music on hold, plus many more innovative and custom-requested sync applications. The LicenseQuote Free calculator features include: 17 standard licensing types, standard pricing profile, description and usage details shown for each selected license type, instant price calculations, "captcha" protected email sending, print out feature and option for custom license negotiation and bid or price request inquiry.
