Rights Management
Whether you are an artist, writer/composer, vocalist or label, EPM has the infrastructure to be your Publisher and Neighboring Rights representative, giving you the peace of mind that all of the royalties from your music are being collected and nothing is missed. We ensure your copyright registrations are handled correctly so that royalties can be collected from around the world.
EPM can help labels by enabling them to offer their artists/writers publishing collection for their releases, and the Neighboring Rights royalties for their sound recordings/masters.

Publishing royalties are collected as:
‘Mechanicals’ - a royalty on physical sales such as vinyl & CDs, plus also digital downloads & streams.
‘Public Performance’ - a royalty when your music is played publicly (radio, TV, venues, festivals etc)
‘Sync licensing’ - is a service offered by EPM for published clients. It is the licensing of music being used in TV, games, adverts & film i.e audio synced to visual media
NEIGHBORING RIGHTS
The collection of royalties on sound recordings, aka ‘masters', owned by labels and artists/performers for their music that is publicly performed on radio, in venues such as clubs, (when they are legally licensed), bars, TV, etc.
These royalties are paid and collected on a national level by societies such as PPL (UK), Sena (NL), GVL (Germany), Sound Exchange (USA), etc
