And some people in this board get upset when I call the industry greedy.
The end-user doesn't pay ASCAP. It would be wrapped into the distribution costs and debted to the provider.

People always act like PROs would start sending them a bill. Geez... Don't you understand that ALL (or 99%) of the money you "pay" for that ringtone stays in the pockets of corporations like Verizon.

Why are you attempting to starve the creator of the music and protect the gross profits of the distribution channel?
