Music collection societies worldwide.

Collection societies license music use and collect royalties on behalf of songwriters and publishers. Your music generates earnings in every country where it's played — and each country has its own society, rates, and registration process.

Why collection society registration matters

Your music generates royalties in every country where it's played. Without proper registration with collection societies, that money stays in "black box" funds — unmatched, unclaimed, and eventually distributed by market share rather than actual usage.

Direct registration = faster payment

Registering directly with each society routes your royalties straight to you — no sitting in reciprocal pipelines that can delay payments 12–24 months.

Reciprocal agreements are slow

PROs share royalties across borders via reciprocal agreements, but payments take multiple quarters to route through. Direct society registration skips the middlemen.

Unregistered = uncollected

Royalties with no matched rights holder flow into "black box" funds. Over time, those funds get paid out by market share — meaning your earnings subsidize major publishers.
