If you simply cannot wait until June 29th to learn more about music rights, the following is a morsel of information intended to wet your whistle.
What are royalties? Royalties are usage-based payments made by one party (the licensee) to another (the licensor) for the ongoing use of an asset.
How do royalties relate to music? There are four types of royalties commonly found in music.
Mechanical Royalties- the concept originated from the sale of piano rolls, but now largely is largely connected to the sale of CD's, digital downloads, tape recordings, DVD's, etc.
Performance Royalties- related to the performance of a song or composition, whether live, recorded, or broadcast (including the web).
Print Rights- largely concerned with sheet music.
Synch Royalties- concerned with the use or adaptation of music in movies, television, advertisements, etc.
If you are involved in the performing arts, and would like to learn how royalties concern you, as well as other issues that involve music rights, please attend our June 29th Music Rights Workshop.
