Database
of Works Restored to Copyright Protection
(Updated May 1998)
ASCAP created the dial-up ACE System in 1993 as a useful tool for music professionals. It was a well-received industry innovation then, and now we are extremely proud to make an enhanced World Wide Web version of this Database available.The Database contains information on all compositions in the ASCAP repertory which have appeared in any of ASCAP's domestic surveys, including foreign compositions licensed by ASCAP in the United States. As ASCAP's new registration format is rolled out, all works registered since November 1990, whether surveyed or unsurveyed, will be available for viewing via ACE. In the meantime, if you are a member and your composition does not appear on ACE, please check with ASCAP to verify that it has been registered with the Society.
Please note the following with respect to Publisher Information:
Copyrighted arrangements of public domain works are listed on ACE.
- ACE provides publisher information for ASCAP publishers when a work is co-published with a non-ASCAP entity.
- ACE also provides direction to the affiliated society of the other entities.
- The publisher contact addresses in the ACE database are intended for music users within the United States only. Music users outside the U.S. should contact their local performance or mechanical rights organizations for publisher contact information applicable to them.
- The publisher name and address that ACE provides as the result of a publisher address query or song title query is the contact publisher or administrator for a synchronization license, grand right, etc. This is not necessarily the copyright owner, who thus may not be represented on the ACE system.
- THIS PUBLISHER INFORMATION THUS SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR RECORD LABEL PURPOSES.
The information contained in the Database is updated weekly. The information contained has been supplied to ASCAP by various sources and ASCAP makes no representations as to its accuracy. ASCAP specifically disclaims any liability for any loss or risk which may be incurred as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use or application of any information provided in the Database, or for any omission in the Database. The presence of contact information for publishers in the ACE database does not indicate that the publisher is willing to or interested in receiving correspondence or unsolicited materials from the general public.
