GLOBAL ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
The goal of our music publishing administration is to maximize royalty collections and make prompt and accurate distribution of royalties. Timely and accurate registration of songs with performing rights societies around the world is one of the keys to maximisation of royalty collection.
At Discovering Arts Music Group, we have created a global administrative model and developed computer systems designed to complement our administrative model. The result is a virtually seamless global process.
When rights in a song are initially obtained the details relating to the song, including writer shares, publisher shares, and territory of control, are input by DAMG into our computer system.
The next step in the administrative process is society registration. Our computer system creates electronic song registration files. Our electronic song registration files are accepted by all societies that accept electronic song registration, including U.S., Canadian, and all major European societies. Electronic registration files are submitted on a monthly basis. The electronic format improves the speed and accuracy of registration because no manual intervention is required.
In territories where electronic song registration is not accepted, we are claiming songs directly. This is done on a release basis and the forms are submitted to the right society registration on a monthly basis.
Royalty collection and distribution is also aided by a centralised process. Royalties are collected by branch offices in all countries of the World in which copyright laws are enforced. Branch offices report their royalty earnings to our London center. The London center then acts as a royalty clearing house, processing all royalties payable to other branch offices and making the appropriate payments to those offices. This process does not create any delays in royalty payment, nor does it result in any additional charges to our payees. Our royalty processing creates a database of global earnings history for each of our songs.
All details relating to new signings are circulated to each branch office in the form of a contract. These contract are registered with those performance societies which require such filings.
Although performing rights societies claim to circulate cue sheets to other societies, we take the precaution of distributing cue sheets to our London office for distribution to all branches. Each branch then registers the cue sheets with their local societies.
Our income tracking departments located in London and making certain that all royalties due for our songwriters are collected.
