hard to tell, since it is not possible for the same llegal entity to

Are you sure of that? If you are a publisher, you can belong to all of
them. So you can publish any author's stuff if you are a publisher member
of their organization.
Read what I wrote. Editions Orphee Inc, is a member of ASCAP. That
legal entity, Editions Orphee Inc, cannot belong to both ASCAP and
BMI. Trust me, I went through that rigmarole only a couple of years
ago. In order to accept BMI composers, I need to establish and
organize a different legal entity, another corporation altogether,
with a different federal tax ID, and a different set of books. That
new entity can then join BMI. It can be done, and some of the big
publishers do that, but it is too much for a one man operation like
me. That is why I specify in my Submisssion Guide lines:
http://www.editionsorphee.com/submission.htm
that I can only work with ASCAP composers.
