American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers
![ASCAP and [[Manhattan School of Music](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/ASCAP_and_Manhattan_School_of_Music_summer_campers.jpg)
ASCAP collects licensing fees from users of music created by ASCAP members, then distributes them back to its members as royalties. In effect, the arrangement is the product of a compromise: when a song is played, the user does not have to pay the copyright holder directly, nor does the music creator have to bill a radio station for use of a song.
In 2021, ASCAP collected over US$1.335 billion in revenue, distributed $1.254 billion in royalties to rights-holders, and maintained a registry of over 16 million works. ASCAP membership surpassed 900,000 and revenues exceeded $1.5 billion in 2022. Provided by Wikipedia
