} A friend keeps telling me the RIAA is just the pasty for BMI and ASCAP. He thinks the 
} latter two should get more heat. What do you think?

ASCAP theoretically represents the actual creators, as opposed to the
record companies.  Whether this is the case in the real world, I don't
know.  I'm not sure about BMI; they are most famous for extorting
money from offices where music was played on a radio loud enough for people to
hear it, under the theory that this is "rebroadcasting".
