[Fmpro] "adjustment fund" @ ASCAP ???

[Phil Kelly]

At far as "adjustment fund" goes, after I raised hell with them showing 
"no surveyed performances" of a jazz CD I released four years ago for 
which I had PROOF of many plays  ( from actual station playlists and 
JazzWeek airplay charts ) , I finally got them to admit  to the fact 
that they "didnt include NPR stations in their surveys" ( which as you 
may know is the only place where jazz programming exists anymore aside 
from satellite radio )

They suggested I apply for a "special award" . . . which resulted in a 
big $500 from ASCAP

I'm still trembling with gratitude from thier overwhelming largessse

Good question, Les.  If memory serves, I was told that there was some 
sort
of "adjustment fund" set aside for situations like this.  But where that
comes from, who knows.

With BMI, if you can "prove" that works of yours were performed but
not
picked up and paid by BMI, they will issue you an adjustment payment.

Where does the money come from?
