Royalties
Streaming Royalties
Streaming royalties are everything a single stream pays out, split across the recording (the master) and the composition (mechanical + performance).
Where this sits
Streaming Royalties
- Distribution
- Broadcast
- Publishing
- Performance
One stream is not one royalty. A single play pays out across two copyrights through three different channels, which is exactly why so much streaming money goes uncollected.
Good to know
Streaming Royalties: common questions
- Why is one stream paid by several organizations?
- Because a stream uses two copyrights at once (the recording and the composition), and the composition's mechanical and performance royalties are collected separately from the recording revenue. Notes pulls them all together.
- Does my distributor collect all of my streaming royalties?
- No. A distributor collects the recording side. The composition's mechanical and performance royalties need a publishing administrator and PRO. Notes does both.
