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

當維克多賀柏特聽到有些人沒有經過他的允許,就公開表演他的作品時,他發覺有必要保護音樂創作人的著作權與表演權。他知道那些人沒有付任何費用給他,他覺得這樣是不公平的。從那時候開始,他就努力要讓音樂人能夠因為自己的音樂被他人表演,而得到適當版稅的工作而努力。


The story goes that Victor Herbert became aware of the need for protection of musical creators' copyrights and performance rights when he was in a hotel and he overheard someone performing a piece of music he'd written. He knew that he hadn't been paid for the use of his music in performance, and he felt that was unfair, since he had written the music. From then on, he worked hard to see that musicians received a royalty for the use of their work.
