Makes you wonder how much unclaimed money ASCAP is sitting on right now

[Thomas Athey @thomasath3y]

Independent artists: if you’re on ASCAP without a publisher, you might be leaving half your royalties on the table.

[Thomas Athey @thomasath3y]

That means if you never create a publisher account, ASCAP literally keeps the other 50% of your money.

company that owns a share of the songwriting copyright.

The case is still in court, and the outcome remains unclear. But it raises important questions about inspiration, ownership, and where the line gets drawn.

When I talk to artists about crypto they unanimously say that it’s all pump and dumps and rug pulls.

And that it’s not worth the brand risk cause no amount of money is worth knowing their fans lost money on something they dont understand.

Until this changes we don’t stand a chance at onboarding the rest of the world.

After beta testing our platform this summer, one of our key insights was that music creators and their managers face significant friction in the contract creation process. Artists must establish splits, find and pay for a lawyer or legal template, and then send the contract(s) to all their collaborators. MESA’s Contract Builder streamlines this process and makes it affordable.

We’re currently going to market with the Contract Builder as we enhance our broader platform, which will include expanded contract creation functionality. Our full platform is set to launch publicly around the start of the new year.

I’m super proud of our core team, along with the many others who have helped us in this journey. The team is now pushing to finish the year off on a strong note!

We are excited to announce the public launch of our first standalone product: the Modular Contract Builder! Artists and their teams can now create an ownership and distribution contract by answering just seven questions.
