Also, ASCAP asks for a lot of information I don't know

Writer:

    1* Your Social Security Number  (this is okay)
    2* Information about a work you wrote or co-wrote (e.g. title, name of
the performer or artist, date it was released or performed)   (Just one?)

Publisher:

    3* Choices for your publishing company name  (No problem)
    4* Information about your company (Taxpayer Identification Number, when
and where it was established, stakeholders)  (It's fictitious, how can I
answer this question?)
    5* Information about a work you published (e.g. title, name of the
performer or artist, date it was released or performed)  (Basically the same
as above)

#4 is the tough one for me-

Thanks you Michael-
I've been trying to get some clarification from my contact who I can't name.
But she told me all these things that the publisher does and quite honestly,
I'm not qualified to do contract negotiations and other things.  So I'm
trying to understand what I'm accomplishing by creating myself as an inept
entity.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ~R

Robert,
You are already the publisher...but I believe you can Œreserve¹
A name with ASCAP. I would actually place a call and check
to see if the name you are looking to use is already taken.

And weather or not you are expected to foot the bill for 1500 CDs
has nothing to do with being a publisher...it¹s what¹s in you record
Contract that matters on that front.

Michael
