Songwriter Royalties
Songwriter royalties are payments made to songwriters for the use of their musical compositions. These royalties are generated when a song is performed publicly, reproduced (e.g., on CDs, vinyl, or digital downloads), streamed, or synchronized with visual media. They are distinct from master recording royalties, which are paid to the owners of the sound recording.
