Could be if ASCAP was actually paying what they should, right?

For example, PBS is a HUGE user of library music. Anybody getting 
anything from ASCAP that airs on PBS? I was flat out told "We don't 
survey those stations" when I inquired about the entire S.C. Educational 
TV and Radio systems in South Carolina.

So, (per previous rants here by myself) - a piece of music airs over 
150,000 times in a 3 year period, and I get not one dime.

Who's got my money?
