Sorry about that, Michel.
His message is clear, and quite right. My partner makes an increasingly large chunk of his living every year from royalties, and he is careful to register practically his every creative thought with BMI, without fail. He is also scrupulous about getting contracts. A few times when he wasn't so careful about it, he got screwed...and often, it's the big-time people who can most afford it who are the first to do the screwing.
I didn't think it was available to classical composers, but apparently I'm quite wrong, so I'm going to register with BMI and/or ASCAP. If I remember rightly, you have pay a fee to join, but registering works is free. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
