  • Copyright is the most important asset you have as a musician and understanding it’s concepts and how to maximize income from it can turn around your career, make you money and help you get exposure.
    If you own 100% of the publishing on your songs, you’ll be able to collect all royalties owed to you from public performance, digital (internet radio and on-demand streaming), synchronization (TV, film, and video games), mechanical royalties (sales of physical recordings and downloads).
    Check out our interview with Combat Jack discussing the benefits of owning your publishing.

    Publishing is where the real money is at. The money you make as a writer. Can surpass. Greatly surpass the money you can make off the sale of your music

    I Got 5 On It sampled Top Billing..."Got It Good" Yo-Yo sampled Top Billing in Mackstress. Milk got a % of those royalties.
    Music publisher owns the performance rights to the lyrics and music. Which is the copyright to the lyrics and music of a song.
    Normally, the record label owns the copyright to the sound recording of the music. Which is commonly known as the "masters" or "master recording."
    If someone samples the sound recording of the song, that person must pay the record label (the owner of the sound recording) for its use. They must also pay the music publisher (the owner of the lyrics and music of the song). The publisher will pay the songwriter and composer of the song.
    If someone samples the lyrics and music by replaying the music and reciting the lyrics, they do not have to pay the record label. But they will need to pay the music publisher (the owner of the lyrics and music of the song).
    In both cases, the songwriters and composers will get a share of writer credits for the new song that is using their lyrics and music. Their percentage can be whatever they want. Example: Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz song, De Ja Vu (Uptown Baby) contained a sample. The sample owner got 100% of the writer/publishing of that song. Same stuff happened with Verve's bittersweet symphony. Rolling Stones owns that new song. Because Verve used their sample.
    When you own the publishing to a song, you will always get paid when someone uses your song. You can be unfair like the rolling stones, etc, and demand all the royalties for the new song, even if they sampled 1% of your song. You can be fair and demand a reasonable %. If they don't like it, they can always remove the sample and not use it for their new song.
    If you sign over your publishing like George Clinton, you miss out on all those royalties. Dr. Dre, Erick Sermon, and an enormous amount of hip hop producers have sampled Parliment and Funkadelic. Since George Clinton doesnt own his publishing, he missed out on all those royalty opportunities.

    Sir mix alot said the same thing about Baby got back. He said his mission wasn't to be a life long rapper. All he said that he needed just one song to stick because he owns every song he's put out. Mix said it himself that Baby Got Back earned him over 100 mil in royalties since the 90s and he's still getting paid.

    Publishing and copywright are two different things. You don't need to own a company to add a copywright to a product and owning a company is no guarantee that your product cannot be stolen.

    It must indeed be crazy for lawyers who are fighting for one "side" in one instance, and another side in another scenario.. 😅
    Seeing it from both sides of the table too, there's no one-size-fits-all with publishing; some may benefit more from keeping it & others may benefit more from giving it up in exchange for an advance, them being employed as a songwriter and/or the songs being worked for them.. ✍🏾

    Yes but but but how do you get your song into tvshows and films. You have to pay someone to pitch it. Thats what a publishing company does right? To own your own publishing is like starting a publishing company. Its seems like a lot of hard and difficult work to start pitching your song without any network.

    So why may I ask is Kanye West say he has debt.. don't his songs get sampled? What kind of publishing deal does Kanye have? Not a good one or? I'm intrigued.

    • @alden5155
      @alden5155 7 років тому +9

      He spends way more than his records can provide. Dude spends mindlessly on 50 million dollar deals. Power is his most used song on the market currently.
      Also being in debt doesn't mean you're broke, it means you have money but its gonna take you a while to pay back.

    • @TRIPLE499
      @TRIPLE499 7 років тому +7

      Titomi Sokoya Most of Kanye West hits are samples actually. So it's more like he's paying money to sample other people's material.

    • @amancalledhawk5575
      @amancalledhawk5575 6 років тому +6

      he samples in most of his songs and normally its 3 songs he samples he has to pay them that definitely cuts out his money

      Kanye West may be locked into a 360° Deal, which is making the artist a superslave to the label.

  • @utubevideo1ful
    @utubevideo1ful 6 років тому +8

    So if I write 100% of the lyrics, and the producer creates 100% of the music, how much publishing do we each have?

    • @xoxxobob61
      @xoxxobob61 6 років тому +2

      The creation of the song deals with copyright or basically ownership. Publishing is a different subject and that all depends how you want to split that up.

    • @utubevideo1ful
      @utubevideo1ful 6 років тому +1

      Xoxxo Bob, thanks. So, the royalty rate is 9.10 cents per radio spin. If I split the publishing for the lyrics that I wrote 3 ways, is that 9.10 cents divided up 3 ways or do we each get 9.10 cents per radio spin?

    • @FISTORYBCAD
      @FISTORYBCAD 6 років тому +4

      Once combine into a song containing your lyrics and his music it becomes one copyright 100% total then it's split 50% to you and 50% to him

      Well Elton John has a similar setup where he writes the music & someone else (Tim Rice, Bernie Taupin, or whoever) adds the lyrics.. I could be mistaken but I presume they split it 50/50.. U & ur producer can decide how u split that..
