Jun 16, 2008 - i'm with BMI right now. so everything i do after its recorded i send into BMI. Now do i have to mail them the song also? like an actual cd of the song for them to get the whole aspect of the song? these are questions that alot of people wonder.

Sep 9, 2008 - I signed up on BMI, but I have no idea what to do next, it's weird. They just grabbed my name and my band's name and info about me and said I was signed up. I need a BMI account number to sign in, but they never gave me one...wtf

Nov 5, 2009 - Great video, but I do not understand too much: let's say I sample a song in order to create a beat, how can I figure out if that song has copyright or not?

Nov 19, 2009 - The song most likely is registered,and you have to contact the label about clearance. There are also companies that help with sample clearances.
