Pay-Per-View Services

At any given time, BMI may have a license agreement with one or more pay-per-view services. When a license agreement is in effect and BMI receives payment from a pay-per-view licensee, royalty payments are distributed to those songwriters, composers and music publishers whose music is aired on any individual service, using a formula as described in the Cable Television section of this booklet.
