American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers
American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).Founded in 1914 by Victor Herbert and a number of other distinguished writers and publishers, and known popularly as ASCAP, it was designed to protect and license performing rights of musical compositions. A rival group, Broadcast Music, Inc., or BMI, was founded in 1940. Virtually all major composers and lyricists of the American stage have been members of these associations; neither group deals in dramatic rights.
