If you look at the back of any CD, you will see that all of the songs are not registered through ASCAP. They normally are 50/50 between ASCAP and BMI. SESAC is seen in a lot of Spanish music and educational music.
The more you dig into this the more it feels like the obfuscation is intentional...it is just that convoluted. That said there is no reason to make it confusing. If it were easy to understand and easier to pay for most people would do it. But in the end business owners feel like they are being ripped off because it is hard for them to wrap their minds around exactly where their money is going.
