How do I collect mechanical royalties for my songs? - Basics of Music Copyrights & Royalties Part 4

Описание: As a songwriter you own the compositions you’ve written – whether you officially register them with the US Copyright Office or not. But how do you actually get paid the mechanical royalties you’re due when a copy or version of your song is sold or played?

That’s exactly the question I answer in the video above, part 4 in our series on the Basics of Music Copyrights and Royalties. The video answers the following questions:

· When am I entitled to mechanical royalties?
· How will the industry know I own a composition so they can pay me my mechanical royalties?
· How much do mechanical royalties pay?
· Do I automatically get paid mechanical royalties by my distributor?
· Don’t ASCAP or BMI collect my mechanicals?
· What do I need to do to collect mechanical royalties I’m owed?

Mechanical royalties can be the primary income stream for a popular songwriter.

Watch this video to make sure you get yours.
