music licensing: who has done it?

who owns the publishing?

Good question -- a few years ago we signed something with a different licensing company, who apparently the artist is no longer working with. Otherwise he doesn't have a label, and we're both registered with ASCAP as PRO.

I talked about this with a friend last night and it sounds like it's all pretty standard, as often as not he doesn't find out that a track has been licensed until he gets the check.
