What is Music Publishing?

As a publisher and copyright owner, we own the publishing rights to your works. Those rights include the exploitation of the songs, and licensing and collecting of royalties generated from those songs.

There are four main royalty types:

1. Performance Income - including public performances, radio airplay, television airplay, clubs and restaurant as reported and accounted by the PRS.
2. Mechanical Royalties - a per unit payment made by record companies for the manufacture and distribution of songs on CDs and Tapes as collected and distributed to the publishers by the MCPS.
3. Synchronization Fees - a negotiated rate for the use of music in an advert, TV show or film. As negotiated with our Synchronization dept.
4. Print Income - for the publication of music in printed 'sheet' form. In our case this is handled by a company called Music Sales.
