Song Registration

Song Registation

Songwriters, Composers and Publishers can join a music "Performing Rights Organization" which will collect performance royalties from businesses such as television, radio stations, digital jukeboxes, broadcast and cable networks.
Artists and copyright owners can register with SoundExchange (Digital Performance Rights Organization) which will collect digital royalties from streaming service providers (i.e. Pandora, SiriusXM & webcasters).
Publishers/Song Owners can register songs with the U.S. Copyright Office to protect their creative work (i.e. lyrics, music, sound recording etc.).
Publishers can register song catalog with Music Reports and Harry Fox Agency (HFA) to enable licensing and collect mechanical royalties from digital streaming services. The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) is a nonprofit organization created to administer blanket mechanical licences to eligible streaming services in the U.S., and to pay the resulting royalties to songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers.
