- bogomipz 9y agoCare to elaborate where in the world artists don't have access to performance rights societies or copyright collectives? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisatio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_copyright_collection_societies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_copyright_collection_s... https://www.ascap.com/help/international/affiliated-foreign-societies https://www.ascap.com/help/international/affiliated-foreign-... Its up to the artist to register with a PRO or to affiliate with a publisher that will do so for them. ASCAP despite the A in the name will collect performance rights worldwide and anyone that meets the basic requirements is welcome to join regardless of what country you live in.
