FAQ - Does one PRO pay more than the others?

In a word, “No.”  One performing rights organization (PRO) does not pay more than the others.  If one paid more than the others, then all writers would be affiliated with that society.  Over the life of a copyright, the payout on a song will be about the same from organization to organization.

From what I hear, though, ASCAP pays significantly less for instrumental socring music than for anything containing vocals.  (1) Is this true, and (2) if so, does BMI differentiate in any way between instrumental and vocal score?
