Frequently Asked Questions about Music Publishing

Q: I already distribute my song on Spotify. Do I still need Publishing?

Yes! Standard distributors only collect master recording revenue. Without publishing administration, the songwriter/composition royalties generated on global streams and broadcasts remain uncollected in global society "black boxes".
