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

make a choice, choose the organization to which your composers
belong.
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.
