Understanding Music Rights

đŸŽŧ Composition Rights

Rights to the underlying musical composition and lyrics. These belong to songwriters and publishers, and generate mechanical and performance royalties when songs are reproduced or performed.

🎤 Master Rights

Rights to the specific recording of a song. Owned by the recording artist and/or record label, these rights control how the actual audio recording is used and distributed.

đŸ“ē Synchronization Rights

Permission to use music in timed relation with visual media like films, TV shows, commercials, and video games. Both composition and master rights holders must approve sync licenses.

🎭 Performance Rights

The right to perform music publicly, whether live or via broadcast, streaming, or other public presentation. Managed through performance rights organizations like PRS and PPL.

đŸ’ŋ Mechanical Rights

Rights to reproduce and distribute copyrighted musical compositions on physical formats and digital downloads. Requires a mechanical license from the copyright owner.
