Master royalties refer to income earned from the actual recordings of your songs. These royalties are typically paid by a label or distributor when your songs are streamed or sold. They pertain to the master rights of the track (i.e., the sound recording itself).
Publishing royalties are distinct. These royalties are paid to the songwriters and composers based on the use of the composition itself (i.e., the melody, lyrics, and arrangement).
Publishing royalties are earned whenever your composition is:
- Played in public (e.g., live performances, radio).
- Streamed online.
- Used in films, TV shows, or ads.
- Played on platforms like YouTube or TikTok.
