Publishing for Composers/ What royalties could be out there for you?

What royalties could be out there for you?

* Royalties on Compositions:

A composition (song) is a piece of music written by a composer.

There are three main ways in which you can earn money from a composition: Performance Royalties, Mechanical Royalties and Synchronisation.

* Performance royalties

Performance royalties are generated when your song has been performed in public. This can be either live or a recorded version of your music.

There are 3 types of performance royalties:

-  from live performances, gigs, dj sets: almost all live performances generate income. Small gigs could be worth € 5 euros. The income generated depends on several factors like attendance, venue, ticket price, line-up etc. These performance fees are not being paid to you directly, but to a collectijg sciety. The money you can collect for performing at the venue comes from the license fee the venue pays the PRS for Music. EPM actively chase up these monies and collects them on your behalf.

- radio airplay (terrestrial, via the internet): When your song is played on the radio, it also generates performance income. The height of the fees paid per radio play depend largely on  the lentgh of the song, audience share of the radio station, time of day etc.

- tv exposure: Just like radio airplay – when your song is on the TV, performance royalties are generated. Again, the amount of money you receive will depend on the channel, time of day, length of the track etc.

* Mechanical royalties

Mechanicals are paid to collecting societies when you songs are being copied or used on CD's, Vinyl, Downloads or DVD's. These fees are paid for duplication of your songs. For example when a record labels wants to release one of your songs on a cd, they will have t pay a license fee for it to a collecting society. Same goes for online stores, like Itunes, who sells downloads of one of your songs.

* Synchronization

Synchronisation is the act of placing an artist’s music over a visual; be it an advert, a TV programme, a film, a video game etc.

EPM’s Rights Management services are especially designed to help you to get on top of these matters and allow you to increase your income by managing and administering your copyrights and phonographic rights.

EPM is not a standard music publisher.While 'classic' publishers only manage and collect royalties on your copyrights into songs (compositions), EPM also manages and collects royalties earned with your sound recordings (or phonographic rights). In this way EPM offers a one-stop-shop for the management of all sorts of copyright, covering both the rights into sound recordings as in musical compositions.

Our rights management service allows you to effectively collect public performance and mechanical royalties paid by Online Stores, Streaming Services, Record Labels, Radio and Television broadcasters for the usage of your music.

Most Online Stores and Streaming Services EPM works with are obliged by law to pay mechanical and public performance royalties for every download they sell, and to pay public performance royalties everytime they stream your music over the Internet. These royalty payments for the usage of your music are being paid and administered by the national collecting societies.

EPM Rights Management helps you to collect these royalties paid by commercial music users on your behalf.   EPM, as a digital distributor, has the advantage of excellent relationships with these Online Stores, Streaming Services and through our Radio promotion service with Radio stations, so we know exactly where and when your music is being used in the form of downloads, streams, or Radio plays.

EPM's rights management services are open to all artists and songwriters who create and perform original material and to all independent music labels. We do not charge you a membership fee, we just take a small percentage of the royalties collected on your behalf.  And above all, you as the artist get to retain all your copyrights.

Our set up allows us to offer tailormade rights management solutions depending on your preferences and situation.

What has the EPM Rights Management Service to offer you ?:
