New York -- Performing rights organization ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) announced on Thursday that it has reached licensing agreements with digital jukebox manufacturers TouchTunes and Ecast, covering the rights to perform music from ASCAP members on their jukeboxes in bars and restaurants. Financial terms of the agreements were not disclosed. Under the deals, ASCAP will receive detailed reporting information from both companies on which songs are played on their jukeboxes, in order to accurately compensate artists for their works. Separately, San Francisco-based Ecast said it has also secured a licensing agreement with the other large performing rights organization in the U.S., BMI (Broadcast Music International).
