MISCONCEPTION OF MUSIC PUBLISHING " THE SERIES"

I have put together some Q & A questions that I hear most often and what I feel would help those understand things a little bit better about music publishing . These are the basic principles of publishing that would increase your understanding  and will surely help your foundation in the publishing industry. 




Q What exactly is Publishing ?

A Publishing is any activity of making information available to the general public. Any content  that you ( the author) can create weather it is Literature, Music , blogging , Audio or Video Content  that is  made available to the public makes you a Publisher!!

Q How Does intellectual Property coincides with music publishing ?

A Intellectual property (IP) is a legal concept which refers to creations of the mind for which exclusive rights are recognized. These rights are granted to the owner that creates them exclusively . When (IP) is made available for the public to engage with it, publishing  benefits the (IP) by payment to the owner who created it.

Q How important is Ownership in Music Publishing ?

A Ownership is very important in the industry of publishing . Your works can range form full ownership to a very small percentage which all depend on your contribution to the work that you have published .  Ownership equates to rights and your rights will translate to permission of use .  Your permission is what can warrant a payment for the use or purchase of your work.

Q How does Performance Rights Organizations ( ASCAP BMI, SESAC) operate with
your publishing income ?

A It's very important that every writer composer and artist align themselves with an PRO for their publishing income. It's has several revenue streams that benefits each song that is registered with the organization . It's a monitoring platform that tracks each play use of your song(s). They cover the performance rights royalties from Tv & cable television , radio , restaurant, retail stores and through any subscription background music distribution companies.

Q What's the difference between exclusive & non exclusive publishing deal?

A These terms are a must know when it comes down to Music Publishing .  It determines how much coverage one can obtain with their music . It really boils down to control. Dealing with a company" exclusively" means that the company you're dealing with will be the only company that will be able to handle your music concerning the marketing , placements, licensing & sales of the music you sign over . "Non Exclusive" rights are the complete opposite. There is much more freedom when dealing on non exclusive terms. You can allow more than one company the rights to do exactly what an exclusive relationship can do and increase your marketing and visibility by having several company work for you than just one .  More Exploitation the better.

I invite those of you to leave a comment , questions or anything you can add to bring value to someone else.   If you are interested in more information please email at info@zilahmusicpublishing.com

IS BEING A PART OF A MUSIC LIBRARY SUCH A BAD THING?

First let's define what a music library is and what it's for. A music library contains music-related materials for patron use. Music Libraries license their copyrighted music for use in film, television and radio productions. A lot of  music creators/ owners, I find are having mixed feelings about companies that are gathering music to license and exploit to other platforms like film, television and now the platforms on the internet  as well.  I encounter a lot of people very afraid or nervous to add their work to a music library.  Within this article I added Greg Savage who is the owner of  http://diymusicbiz.com  who received some backlash from a prior video that he posted that explained the pros of what a music library can do for the music that is added . Check out what he has to get off his chest in this video.



Now my opinion is that everyone is a publisher.  We all post, add & place things online, in  newspapers, we put our music on ITunes, anywhere we can to promote and bring our ideas to the public.  That in a nut shell is publishing.  It is very hard work for a publisher to bring something to the market that is not known and bring it to popularity. If it was easy everyone would be successful at it.   It takes Time, Money & dedication. Platforms such as Tunecore, AMP Music & myself at http://zilahmusicpublishing.com  work very hard at branding ourselves making the music buyers know and trust our product and you being part of the brand helps your chances of being heard and exploited.  That is the name of the game right? To get out there and be seen as much as possible.  To begin to make a living from what you worked so hard on.  Again you can do this yourself, which if you come back I will have an article explaining the process of doing just that. But realistically, people who create love to stick with what they know and keep on creating . So it's best just to get a little help from a music library especially if it's a non exclusive catalog like Zilah Music Publishing.  We advise you to find other Non Exclusive companies to get with. The more everyone pushes the better your changes. Hey anything is better than your music sitting in your hard drive with no one to hear it but you.

Listen Music Libraries are your friend not your enemy. You should start to embrace the library and the vehicle behind it as well.   Start to tune in and learn from people like Greg Savage of DIYMusicBiz and learn.  He sounds a little disturbed in the video but I'm positive his tone was expressed with Love for all of you because he knows that not knowing and just assuming can cost you a lot of time & money. Those two things nobody can afford to lose.
