Songs Recording Copyright

The sound recording copyright protects the specific fixed audio — the "master" — and belongs to the producer who finances and arranges the recording. It is separate from the musical work: the same composition can be recorded by different artists, each generating its own sound-recording right. We procure the necessary NOCs from the composer, lyricist and performers, register the sound recording under Form XIV in the producer’s name, and set you up for mechanical and performance licensing and royalty collection through PPL / Recorded Music Performance Ltd. — protecting the master against unauthorised reproduction, communication and distribution.
