OUR SERVICES
We provide individually copyright management, protection, monetization and enforcement services for musical works on YouTube owned by Google. We represent authors (composers and songwriters) and copyright holders and their synchronization and mechanical rights related to use of songs in any audiovisual work.
In order to collect appropriate royalties we using 2 different methods: automatic embeding in the sound recordings and/or manual claiming where possible. If you are interested in our services, please contact us via the online form and we will consider the possibility of cooperation.
P.S. Collective copyright management is provided by state organizations and they represent performance and mechanical rights in most countries of the world. For example, in the United States of America, such organizations represent performance rights only.
What are Synchronization and Mechanical Rights?
Whether you are a member of a collective management organization or not, you can entrust us with the management of your synchronization and mechanical rights.
Synchronization Rights
When someone uses (or wants to use) your musical work in their audiovisual content—such as a film, commercial, or even a simple YouTube video—they must obtain permission from the author or copyright holder of the musical work. Unlike collectively managed rights, synchronization rights are granted on an individual basis, through a direct agreement between the rights holder and the user. This means the rights holder (or their representative, such as a music publisher) personally negotiates the terms. In other words, the author decides whether to license the work, under what conditions, for which territories, and for how long.
Mechanical Rights
Mechanical rights are the rights of authors to receive payment whenever their composition is reproduced—originally on physical formats (CDs, vinyl), but today this includes digital reproductions, such as downloads and streams. For every stream or download, the author is entitled to a mechanical royalty—in addition to the royalties paid to performers and producers for the sound recording (master rights).
What is music publishing?
Music Publishing on YouTube refers to the management of copyrights related to musical compositions (lyrics and melody) used on the platform.
A music publisher (such as IMPERIA Publishing) represents songwriters and composers, ensuring they receive royalties when their music is used on the digital platform YouTube.
