What is music publishing?
Music publishing is a global business encompassing the ownership, promotion and administration of songs. We license words and music (typically a song or a production music track) to record companies, radio, television, films, commercials and multimedia.
What does Pop Starz Music Publishing do?
We acquire copyrights from the songwriter and contract them to a specific agreement. In return for entire or partial ownership of songs, we administer the rights, collect the income and split the income with the writer.
How do publishers make money?
Publishers have three main sources of revenue:
· Mechanical royalties, which we receive from every record company when songs are licensed and sold.
· Performance royalties, which performing rights societies collect on behalf of the copyright owners whenever the songs are performed live or played on radio and TV or heard in hotels, bars, theatres, and so forth.
· Synchronization fees. Music Publishers license music for use in film, television, advertising & multimedia, and, in return, collect 'synch' fees.
