That's just lost money for you. Kevin Breuner If someone asked you not to join a PRO, that would be a huge warning sign and a definite reason not to work with them. That’s just lost money for you.

You may want to let us know what the name of it is, so other community members can check it out and see if it's credible or not. Judging from what you've written, though, it sounds sketchy. It's a good thing that you are proceeding with caution. Good luck! Yeah, I would avoid that one.

(PROs are exclusive in the sense that you can't join two PROs, but not in the sense of prohibiting you from licensing your music without involving the PRO.) Sounds to me like they want to limit their artists to folks who don't know what they're doing... smells like a songshark.
