Yes, that is the way they do it. I read about it and actually talked to them about it just a few days ago. They have a name they call it. I can’t think of it right now but I will find it. Someone said they were getting overwhelmed with upkeep and manageing of a zillion little publisher accounts where there was only a couple songs generating no royalties or something. I Imagine there may also be an issue with collecting funds and then sitting on them indefinitely. ????9

EDIT: OK, it says BMI will consider you “copyright controlled / self published” if you don’t have a publisher, and they will pay out the publishing money to your writer account.


Best,
