Must watch video.
ASCAP President and Chairman Paul Williams gave an informative and inspirational speech at this year’s meeting, speaking eloquently about the pitifully low royalties being paid by streaming music services like Pandora. He also laid out his vision for what ASCAP and its members need to do to help strengthen ASCAP’s role in the digital age.

Way to go Mr. Williams….very passionate. More music is being played and enjoyed than ever before in history. Songwriters should get their fair share.
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve reposted this most important, coherent, articulate speech.
Thank you Paul Williams! Awesome! I’m reposting and tweeting and have it on the homepage of my site, we need more musicians to speak up and stop waiting for someone else to take care of this! Wonderful speech.
