You’re right: https://www.ascap.com/help/career-development/a-checklist-for-using-music-in-film https://www.ascap.com/help/career-development/a-checklist-fo... suggests that the kind of license I would expect a producer to need wouldn’t come from ASCAP.
So all four claims are relevant, but Disney’s alleged hypocrisy doesn’t seem to me to serve any purpose in the complaint (other than to get the thing noticed by the media).
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoI suppose one reason for hypocrisy to matter is that it proves they knew what they were doing. If I do $FOO, I could think that $FOO was okay. If I do $FOO while actively suing other people for doing $FOO, then it's obvious that I'm knowingly doing something wrong (or perjuring myself, I suppose).
