Publishing royalties are the payments you receive as a songwriter, composer, or publisher whenever your music is used in various settings.
This includes:
- Streaming royalties: Earned from music played on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others.
- Performance royalties: Generated when your music is played live at concerts, festivals, clubs, or even at public places.
- Sync royalties: Paid when your music is used in films, TV shows, commercials, and video games.
- Mechanical royalties: Generated when your music is reproduced on physical or digital formats like CDs, vinyl, or downloads.
- Broadcast royalties: Earned when your music is played on the radio, TV, or online broadcasts.
These royalties are collected and distributed by Performance Rights Organizations (PROs) and other licensing agencies globally. The money you’re owed depends on how frequently your music is used across different platforms and regions.
