Increasing the money paid to commercial music will
surely reduce what's paid to program music. Since
vocal music is used in commercials more than in the
program's background, vocal music would benefit more
than instrumental music. You don't need any "numbers"
from ASCAP to figure that one out.

If you want to argue that commercial music should be
paid the same rate as program music, that's fine. But,
that would probably reduce the royalty checks of all
the instrumental Composers on this list.
