[Fmpro] ASCAP currency

[Kevin Mathie]

I guess we need to figure out what ASCAP's "currency" is -- what it  
is the board finds most valuable -- and then find a way to get in  
control of that currency. Obviously, it's not necessarily the money  
that motivates ASCAP's board. Apparently, at the present time, score  
composers don't have whatever it is the ASCAP board wants.

It's an interesting question, I think. If money isn't ASCAP board's  
currency. What is?
