Decision Time
After a couple of sleepless nights, I decided the most viable associate for my concept to be associated with would be B.M.I.
Reasons
• BMI is already in direct contact with music venues : night clubs, discos, hotels, bars, restaurants and other venues; digital jukeboxes; and live concerts
• BMI and associations like it are under serious pressure from groups such as Copyleft and Common Licence groups. Even brands like Coca Cola are co operating with the Peer to Peer illegal downloading community. BMI needs to evolve.
• In feedback from venue licence owner’s I found out a greater degree of trust when cooperating with an established organisation like BMI.
• Database of suitable venues is already available.
• A concept like this would once again connect music with the real life physical atmosphere of a music venue. The connection between the music venue and music fan is restored.
I hoping by getting BMI onboard with this concept they will also consider introducing new licences with will include an alternative or middle ground to Common Licences.
• Every released track would be available - not just selected iTunes tracks.
• BMI thought Fast Track is also partners with similar associations in (United States), GEMA (Germany), SACEM (France), SGAE (Spain), SIAE (Italy), AKM (Austria), ASCAP (United States), BUMA-STEMRA (Netherlands), MCPS-PRS Alliance (United Kingdom), SABAM (Belgium), SOCAN (Canada), and SUISA (Switzerland).
