If you’re a record label/master rights owner, and your master recordings are being publicly performed and broadcasted, you’re earning neighboring rights royalties. This is completely separate from the field of music publishing, in which songwriters and composers earn performance royalties from public broadcasts of their musical compositions. For this service, Symphonic works only with approved record labels to register sound recordings and collect neighboring rights royalties worldwide over 43 neighboring rights collection societies in key territories. Due to the unique nature of this royalty type, Symphonic’s Neighboring Rights Administration Service is only available to eligible labels who are distribution clients and who are approved by our Rights Management team.
