You're a great speaker & presenter! One tip: When you're discussing pub copyrights, use the term 'composition' and for label copyrights say 'recording' or 'recorded music.' Don't use the terms 'song' or 'music' interchangeably.

4:52 Labels have always got paid, everything u said I agree with except that. In The 70’s and 80’s the record labels were making crazy money compared to the artists. The internet has helped the artists not the labels

Agreed - The phrase was "not getting paid what they needed to" meaning they couldn't track every dollar properly before digital sales and streaming...but today - every dollar is trackable!

I have to "slightly" disagree with his wording. The record label owns THE RECORDING of the song ONLY. He keeps saying "the song itself" for the label when actually "the song itself" is the PUBLISHER. He's using "song" when he should be saying "recording" many times here. The song itself is the lyrics and music/beat meaning the people who created those can continuously recreate/re-record or allow others to recreate/record WITHOUT a label's approval because the label only owns the particular single recording they paid for to produce. Just think of the two copyrights, the one using letter C in a circle and the one using letter P in a circle. The C is the song, the P is the recording. The C is publishing, the P is record label. The biggest thing to understand is Publishing/Publishers have rights to both the C and P copyright while the label only had rights to the P copyright. The parts about the royalties is spot on though.

I agree. I understand it the way your saying. I see myself as a producer where I make the beat and lyrics. I have hired vocalists to help me complete my songs. However I dont have the skills to mixdown and master perfectly so I hire others to help me do that. However, a label is wanting to sign a 3 song deal with me and I am happy to share my master recording because they will pay for all that but I do not want to split my song with them. I wrote the song, I have the idea so no reason to share that.

When a song is being played on spotify , KZbin..... who gets paid master recording/ record label or publishing ?????????

@247artists 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely, @mickeyy2023! On platforms like Spotify and KZbin, you earn both types of royalties: Master royalties from your distributor (e.g., TuneCore, CD Baby) and Publishing royalties through your PRO (e.g., BMI, ASCAP). Don't forget to register your song with both to get paid. It's important to ensure you're paid for your work!

@@247artists thank you for replying . Can you tell how much percentage of money goes to master recording and how much % goes to publishing company from one song on KZbin or spotify . Which one earns you more money if I own both master and publishing .

@247artists 10 ай бұрын

@@Vikii2024 You are welcome. There is no simple answer as the rates vary per country, account type (KZbin Premium, KZbin Family, youtube Free) - same with spotify (Spotify: Premium, Family, Free) - But if you own and register the master and publishing you will maximize your revenue. Your best bet is to make sure you Register you song with ALL of the agencies and services: Performing Rights Organization (PRO) - Register with a PRO in your country (e.g., ASCAP, BMI in the USA, PRS in the UK) to collect performance royalties for when your music is played on streaming services, radio, live venues, etc. Mechanical Rights Agencies - In the U.S., this would involve organizations like The Harry Fox Agency or Music Reports, which collect mechanical royalties from digital sales and streams. Outside the U.S., mechanical royalties are often collected by PROs or specific mechanical rights organizations. SoundExchange - If you're in the U.S., register with SoundExchange to collect digital performance royalties for the use of your recordings on digital radio, satellite radio, and similar platforms. KZbin Content ID - To earn money from KZbin, sign up for KZbin Content ID through a digital distributor that offers this service. This system identifies and monetizes your music when it's used in videos across the platform. Digital Distributors - Utilize a digital distribution service (e.g., DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby) to get your music on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. These services can also help manage royalties and sometimes offer publishing administration services to help collect your publishing royalties worldwide.

So if I write my own music and buy or make my own beats and it’s dope, a publishing deal would be more profitable? Which would I have more advantage with? Can you cover this topic more in depth…

@247artists 11 ай бұрын

Yep - make sure you join our community, where we have a series of courses on this, too! But Yes, If you make your own music and write your own lyrics, you get a bigger piece of the pie, and it's less of a headache to license your music! All good things for publishing.

Since I’m a singer, songwriter and produce my own music a publishing deal would be best

@yuduGray 4 ай бұрын

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, but here's how I'd look at it: If you have a solid catalog and songs gaining traction, at least securing an admin deal could be a smart move to keep things organized and ensure you’re getting all the royalties you deserve. If you can land a traditional publishing deal, it could open up more opportunities for placements and syncs, plus potentially give you an advance. But remember, this usually requires either a strong track record or a solid connection within the industry. It’s about leveraging what you’ve already built and pushing it further. Keep living your passion 24/7, and make strategic moves that support your long-term career goals!
