FAQ

A fully published songwriter assigns 100% of their rights to the publisher. The full-publishing deal covers all the material songwriters will create during the duration of the contract ? usually with some kind of contractual obligation for a minimum of number of songs written.

Under the individual song agreement, a writer transfers the copyright to one composition or a selected number of identified compositions to a publisher and, in return, receives a portion of the income earned from uses of that composition or compositions.

Publisher's Share. Each composition is collected via two avenues: the writer's share and the publisher's share. The writer's share is the portion or royalties attributed to the songwriter/composer. This is collected and paid directly to you when you sign up with your PRO (performance rights organization).

Publishers. As stated above, the songwriter receives 50% of the performance and mechanical royalties. The other 50% is the publisher's share. Now, this doesn't mean that the publisher keeps 50% of the royalties ? it just means that it's the publisher's duty to collect this share.
