Performance Royalties & Setlist Registration
Performance rights cover the royalties for the public performance of a music composition, which includes all public broadcasting of a work, including terrestrial radio, music played in bars and clubs, television broadcasting, and of course, music streaming.
Mechanical royalties
A mechanical license generates royalties for the mechanical playback of a musical composition. CDs, mp3s, toys, video games, ringtones and music streaming are all examples of media that generate mechanical royalties. Mechanical licenses are also the method by which artists are legally allowed to sell recordings of cover songs.
An individual that “covers” the music of another writer can legally do so by paying a mechanical license fee to the original composer. This is called a compulsory mechanical license. It is compulsory because it forces the composer to allow the composition to be used, even for commercial work, as long as the party covering their music is willing to pay the full fee for the license.
Micro Sync royalties
Payments made on the synchronization of music with a moving image typically in videos and user-generated content. Depending on where these uses occur, they can generate both performance and mechanical royalties. A television broadcast, for example, generates performance royalties, while a monetized YouTube video will generate performance and mechanical royalties.
Non-interactive streaming royalties
Unlike a permanent download or interactive/on-demand streams of sound recordings, non-interactive streams are not paid to your distributor. Webcasters and digital services that broadcast recordings over the Internet (e.g. Pandora, iHeart Radio), cable (e.g. Music Choice), and satellite (e.g. SiriusXM) in radio-style programming where the end users/listeners have limited to no control over the selection of music (non-interactive) pay a royalty for the digital performance of sound recordings.
