Don't Register Your Beats With ASCAP/BMI

If you sell beats to artists, you have to register your beats with a PRO like ASCAP or BMI in order to protect your copyrights and get paid royalties, right? Wrong. Many producers believe this myth and waste a lot of their time as a result. Here is the truth about what PROs do, how producers get paid through them and how you can make sure you get your performance royalties even if rappers don't properly register songs with your beats in them.

[@simviciousmusic]

This was extremely helpful, thank you so much for this Pain, you really help upcoming Producers know where their place should be, instead of producers worrying about where to register their beats they should just focus on perfecting their craft and delivering it to the artists, after all that it's the artists who's gonna register their song.

[@antgeeze7129]

Register it right there in the studio together. Never trust someone else to handle our affairs.

[@philxdev]

14:52 I think you are absolutely correct. Here I want to add that If you want your composition as a cowriter (beats, melodies, lyrics) to be registered when the final song is released it is IMO important to have that in the sales contract with the particular artist you are selling/giving your work to. This should include the process and systems used for registration including the timeframe and the percentages among other things like getting feedback. This will make it very clear for any hobby artist and/or professional what their duties are and what you agreed on to avoid any issues later down the road. How in the world would it make any sense to register your beat/ melodie/ composition/ lyrics with a company that does not scan for that and does not protect your copyright anyhow. If you make a living from selling your compositions it would even be counterintuitive to "register" or publish ANY of the work you want to sell! Nobody wants to buy "USED" products in that field... professionals usually outright dismiss any material that has already been processed in such a way. Registering your beats for example seems really insane IMO.. Even if in theory, they would be able to identify your beat inside somebody else's song, how would they know the percentages of royalties of that song that have to be allocated for you? That is not something they will do. That is why it is important to have all the agreements in writing with the artists that use your compositions so that when the song is registered you will get the agreed-upon percentage within the registering process. But for everybody who wants to look "important", and show off thousands of registered nonsense, this is the way to go I guess... strange FLEX nonetheless. As far as I know, if you really want your creation to be "officially" registered and protected there are lawyers for that, but of course, it will be a fee per creation, and with a couple of thousand beats this will definitely be a lot of money down the drain unless you really have some finished songs you want to protect.

[@justincanton]

💯bro, awesome video. I use a copyright company myself called (Copyright House) to register works that have not yet been published. It is a one time payment for life and a good service... But saying that.... I registered a demo song a few years ago with them and then put it online, and it was stolen, slightly changed and ended up hitting No.1 in UK & US. The musicologists and lawyers said that the music and lyrics had been changed enough so as I didn't have a case, even though they all agreed my song was stolen. I missed out on millions, so be careful out there fellow creatives, coz this industry is riddled with non talented, and very talented thieves. ✌

Good invaluable information, brother!!! I love your channel!!!

[@korniceman3000]

Very grateful how you continue to help the producer community!! Hmm... I always thought PRO's duty was collecting income on behalf of songwriters and music publishers when a song is publicly broadcast or performed. Never once thought they were involved with copyright protection. Where do these people get that idea... I'm just wondering if ASCAP still does the scummy practice of taking money from indie artists & using that money to pay the performance royalties of top 200 grossing tour acts like they did in 2009. Also, are their copyright alternatives to protecting your beats if you don't register with US copyright office (as that is getting much more expensive these days). Thanks for the advice.

[@KBlakK]

I have been telling artists and producers this for years, and they think I'm stupid. I'm like wow. This is music biz 101... PROs serve a function, but that ain't it. ONLY finished songs should be registered. GEEZ!!! Talk about duplication of effort!!!

[@MichaelSmith-lm5sl]

a playful way to describe music royalties, made to sound like a nursery rhyme: In the land of notes and rhythm, where music's freely given, Lie several paths to treasures vast, where artists make their living. First come the Mechanical rights, when songs take form anew, Each time they're pressed on album disks, or streamed in meadows blue. Performance Royalties are next, from concerts near and far, From radios and jukeboxes, to where the people are. The Synchronization Royalties, appear in film and show, When melodies and lyrics, help the story grow. Digital Performance Royalties, through wires they are streamed, On internet and satellite, where digital dreams are dreamed. Print Royalties are old and rare, from times of ink and paper, When music scores and sheets were sold, their melodies to savor. Master Royalties are precious, from record sales they bloom, For those who own the master sound, they bring financial boon. Neighboring Rights, they speak of, when songs are played aloud, In public spaces, bars, and shops, before an eager crowd. And then there are the Ringtones, a jingle short and sweet, Each time it plays, the artist earns, a feat no small feat. Lyrics displayed on platforms, give rise to more reward, While Equity and Micro-sync, more treasures can afford. From foreign lands across the sea, come Foreign Royalties, For music knows no boundaries, it flows like seven seas. So, in this realm of music, where art and commerce blend, The royalties reward the artists, and their creations tend.

Apologies if this is a dumb question. Still wrapping my brain around royalties and how to utilize PROs. How does the royalties that I am receiving from DistroKid differ from royalties that BMI collects? Am I missing out on royalties by not having my already distributed beats registered on BMI right now? For context, all of my beats are on both Beatstars and distributed on Distrokid. I am building lengthy playlists of my beats, and running ads directing traffic to my Spotify Playlists of HipHop Instrumentals, much like Lofi Girl, ChillHop Music, Fantastic FM, JazzHop Cafe, etc. This is the first I've heard that performance royalties are a part of streaming royalties, and so I'm afraid I might be missing out on a chunk of royalties by not having them registered right now. Thank you for taking the time to explain these things to dumbasses like me haha. My wife and I love your podcast. Your advice has been incredibly helpful

[@shakebake4042]

Distrokid only collects sound recording royalties aka the master royalties, whereas BMI collects performance royalties for writers. Streaming services like Spotify do pay out performance royalties on the writer side, as well as performance and mechanical royalties to the publishing side, so if you have your beats on Spotify, it might be worth it if you're generating a lot of streams to register them with BMI, as well as a publisher like Songtrust, which Pain is using in this video, to collect all of them.

[@tapdaddy69]

@@shakebake4042 Ay thanks so much for explaining all of this. I've been spending the past few hours researching all of these types of royalties and where to collect. I still have one question remaining: Would me entering my beats in Songtrust negatively effect all of the artists who have purchased licensing from me? I'm a little hesitant to enter my songs into any sort of contentID, as I feel this might negatively impact a lot of my customers. Unless if I am completely missing the bigger picture here... In any case, thanks for taking the time to respond to my inquiry. I really appreciate it.

[@MichaelSmith-lm5sl]

If you're referring to a musical beat, it typically does not need to be registered with ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) or BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.). ASCAP and BMI primarily deal with the performance rights and royalties associated with the composition and lyrics of a song, rather than individual beats or instrumental tracks. However, if the beat is part of a complete musical composition or a song, and you want to protect the rights to that composition, you may consider registering it with a copyright office. Copyright protection can help establish your ownership and provide legal recourse in case of infringement. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional specializing in copyright law to understand the specific requirements and procedures for copyright registration in your jurisdiction.

[@mrobjects]

Ive gotten checks from Ascap for beats, so you dont know what you are talking about. Also regardless if a beat has lyrics or is a song, it should still be copyrighted. I have always copyrighted every "song" I made which was a beat, but not some basic ass 2 minute loop that most producers call "beats". I make whole songs that are instrumentals

[@mrobjects]

@@littup7322 Anything put on the internet should be copyrighted. I have sued barnes and nobles and multiple other companies, and believing that your work is copyrighted because you made it is not correct. You need to have a registered letter from the copyright office to prove you are the original creator and owner of your work. If you think the myth of "automatic copyright" has any value in the real world of law you are incorrect.

[@mrobjects]

@@littup7322 No lawyer will ever take an infringement case or copyright case without you having a registered copyright under your name/company. There is a reason intelligent companies and people pay to copyright their works of art, literature and music, because in a court of law your imaginary automatic copyright has no value. Again I only sued the biggest book publisher and won because I had a letter of registration. And I also sued 3 other companies because I also had a registration of copyright letter. You can argue this all you want to, but tell me how many billion dollar companies have you sued for infringement with your imaginary made up self copyright? In fact how many small companies have you sued for infringement?

[@mrobjects]

@vongwynbleidd I dont sell beats, not for less than $5000. And I put out whole records, and if you put a record out and release it on itunes or whatever it should be copyrighted. This is what actual legit artists and record labels do. Even a single release should be copyrighted. It is to legally protect the work in the event someone steals your music.
