Where We Collect Your Royalties From
By accurately registering songs across these organizations, we'll be able to collect the royalties you're owed whenever your music is played in:
On-demand streaming platforms where listeners choose exactly what they play. Every stream generates royalties that we ensure are collected on your behalf.
Curated or algorithm-driven streams where listeners can't choose specific songs — think digital radio. These services generate their own royalty streams distinct from on-demand platforms.
When your music is used in videos, reels, stories, or posts across social platforms, licensing agreements between those platforms and rights organizations ensure you get paid.
Video streaming platforms that license music for use in original series, films, and other content. Proper registration ensures your compositions are tracked and compensated whenever they appear.
Royalties are generated every time your compositions are performed live — whether you're on stage yourself or another artist is covering your songs. PROs collect these performance royalties from venues and promoters.
Gaming generates royalties across multiple contexts — not just in-game licensed music, but also broadcast scenarios that reach massive audiences.
Traditional over-the-air radio remains a significant royalty source for songwriters and publishers. Every spin generates performance royalties collected by your PRO.
When your music appears in a film — in the score, a scene, or over the credits — sync licensing fees and backend performance royalties apply. Accurate registration ensures you capture both revenue streams wherever the film is shown worldwide.
Television generates cue-sheet royalties every time your music is broadcast. Proper registration with PROs and foreign CMOs ensures you're paid across all markets.
Any business that plays music publicly is required to hold a license. PROs collect fees from these establishments and distribute them to rights holders based on usage reporting.
