Didn’t ASCAP argue for public performance royalties every time a phone rang a few years ago?

Artists should have to pay me for their ringtone to be on my phone. I mean think if all that exposure that they will receive when I’m at a bar and my phone starts ringing. “What is that SONG?” the bartender will ask me, with a tone that implies she intends to add it to her playlist.
Oh, it’s just an obscure track from this artist called Lady Gaga. I really think she’ll make it big one day!”

Seriously: is this journalism? Re-printing a graph or a bunch of numbers? Pauline must be on vacation – mailing it in…just sayin’…
Just a fun fact. Though maybe a deep, investigative look the ringtone in 2014 would yield some interesting discoveries.

Not only dialing this one in (yes, pun intended), I highly doubt that ringtones are worth near that much.

Numbers speak, ringtones are never outdated. https://scaricasuoneriegratis.mobi/ Give yourself a unique ringtone style and only in your own. Imagine being in a public place, a phone ringing and all pulling out their phones to check. Is it funny?
