Let's assume ASCAP collect performance royalties for the song. They know who the writer is. Is there a way (in ASCAP, or even BMI) to declare yourself a "self-publisher?" How does he, as a self-publisher, collect his publisher half of performance royalties -- does ASCAP give it to him or does it get collected in another way????

I am registered at BMI as both a writer and publisher. I registered my publishing company name as a "DBA" with my state.
