    Default reprographic royalties

    An interesting article I posted on Facebook 'n' Twitter -

    Mind Your Business: Who is Keeping Your Royalties? | AWN | Animation World Network

    In short, some illustrator societies/guilds are trying to put together the equivalent of what ASCAP/BMI is for musicians. No fee to join; they'd take a cut of any royalty collected (if ever).

    the FAQ of the actual organization is here - ASIP FAQ

    I'd be interested to hear what y'all have to say about it.

    If it's as useless to most working illustrators as ASCAP and BMI are to most working musicians, I'd say interest will be limited to a very few people, who probably have the clout to collect their own royalities.

    I got a check for 97 cents from BMI. Once.

    It's pinned to the wall of my office, next to a note from an old, loathed roomate: "Whichever one of you motherfuxxers took my toothpaste, return it right away and quit using it!"

    I never even cashed it because I am SO RICH AND TALENTED AND SUCCESSFUL that I don't even NEED those 97 cents.
