Who is asking AJ to become a publisher? The PRO issue is not that complicated if we display our writers and publisher PRO affiliation, and IPI #'s on our profile pages with a note that says “If you are using my music on a TV show and need my PRO information for a cue sheet, here is the information:____if you are using the track for a personal youtube video or business youtube video ignore this information, you have your license, thank you for licensing my music.” Envato does not have to get involved at all. Remember, the site is set up where we sell directly to buyers on their “selling platform”. Envato, from what I have read and comprehended, has structured the transactions where we are the sellers, who in turn, pay “author fees” or commissions back to Envato for each transaction. So from that perspective, it can be an issue entirely between TV production company and author as far as handling cue sheets goes.
