「美國作曲家、作家與出版商協會」 (American Society of Composers, Authors and PublishersASCAP) 1914213日成立了

你知道蘿倫‧希爾 (
Lauren Hill) 、愛莉卡‧巴杜 (Erykah Badu) 、瑪丹娜 (Madonna) 、金屬合唱團 (Metallica) 、湯姆‧魏茲 (Tom Waits) 、迪西‧奇克斯 (Dixie Chicks) ,以及提托‧普恩提 (Tito Puente) 有什麼共通之處嗎?是的,他們都是葛萊美獎的贏家,但是他們也都是美國作曲家、作家與出版商協會的成員。

美國作曲家、作家與出版商協會於1914213日在紐約市成立,宗旨在保護超過8萬名作曲家、歌曲創作者、寫詞者、以及音樂出版商等所有會員的權利。美國作曲家、作家與出版商協會主要的功能在於確保作者的作品不會遭到其他藝術家在沒有支付適當費用 (稱為版稅) ,或者取得同意之前,就擅自運用。作者有保護自己作品的權力,這種權力稱之為著作權。美國作曲家、作家與出版商協會的第一位會長是維克多‧賀柏特 (Victor Herbert) ,他是一位音樂家也是作曲者,相當支持藝術家的作品必須付費才能使用。你知道賀柏特怎麼會有設立美國作曲家、作家與出版商協會的主意嗎?


What do Lauren Hill, Erykah Badu, Madonna, Metallica, Tom Waits, Dixie Chicks, and Tito Puente all have in common? Yes, they are all Grammy award winners, but they are also members of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).

ASCAP was founded in New York City on February 13, 1914, to protect the rights of the more than 80,000 composers, songwriters, lyricists and music publishers who are its members. ASCAP's function is to make sure that a writer's work is not used by another artist without paying the proper fee (called a royalty) or acquiring the proper permission. An author's right to protect his work is called copyright. ASCAP's first director was Victor Herbert, a composer and musician who strongly supported artists being paid for their work. How do you think Herbert got the idea for ASCAP?
