Hi All,
I'd like to switch from my local P.R.O (BUMA in the Netherlands) to BMI. Most of my publishers is in the US so I think it makes sense to join BMI directly. Is there anyone who has experience switching P.R.O's? Currently I have work registered at BMI on my BUMA IPI, but BMI is a little vague about what is going to happen with those registrations. Do I keep my IPI, will they collect royalties from these registrations. Also they are not responsive to my mails/ calls.
Many of my publishers has sub-publishers all over the world, so I am very doubtful now whether I should join BMI or just stay with BUMA.
Also, I heard I can exclude the US from my BUMA account and let BMI only collect US royalties. Is there anyone who has experience with that?
Thanks!
best,
Sander
