ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) is not a form of copyright; rather, it is a performing rights organization that helps musicians and composers secure royalties for the public performance of their copyrighted works. Copyright is a legal framework that grants creators exclusive rights to their original works, while ASCAP administers those rights on behalf of its members. In essence, ASCAP protects and manages the copyrights of its members by licensing their music and collecting royalties.
