「美国作曲家、作家与出版商协会」 (American Society of Composers, Authors and PublishersASCAP) 于1914213日成立了

当维克多贺柏特听到有些人没有经过他的允许,就公开表演他的作品时,他发觉有必要保护音乐创作人的着作权与表演权。他知道那些人没有付任何费用给他,他觉得这样是不公平的。从那时候开始,他就努力要让音乐人能够因为自己的音乐被他人表演,而得到适当版税的工作而努力。


The story goes that Victor Herbert became aware of the need for protection of musical creators' copyrights and performance rights when he was in a hotel and he overheard someone performing a piece of music he'd written. He knew that he hadn't been paid for the use of his music in performance, and he felt that was unfair, since he had written the music. From then on, he worked hard to see that musicians received a royalty for the use of their work.
