- If you’ve been faithfully following our Basics of Music Copyrights and Royalties video series, congratulations. You’ve earned your Disc Makers Bachelor’s Degree.
This week I delve into Master’s Degree territory with a discussion on Neighboring Rights and SoundExchange, their collection society in the US.
There’s good news and bad news for American artists: yes, some royalties are available, but you’re shut out of a huge chunk of royalties. Worst of all, those royalties are collected, but get redistributed to other artists.
In this week’s video I discuss:
-What are neighboring rights?
-Who gets paid neighboring rights?
-Why are US artists ineligible to receive a sizeable chunk of the neighboring rights royalties that have been collected?
-What is SoundExchange, and which neighboring rights can they collect on your behalf?
-How do you get your share?

This is DEEP stuff!!! Thank you so very much, Tony! 😁😁😁😉
That now make sense, when registering with Sound Exchange they claimed Sound Cloud were already collecting royalties for the songs I registered.
Thanks for the info.
Great video how do I collect royalties from another country from soundexchange when they deal wit u.s. banks only
First off thank you for publishing that Sag _ Aftra musicians Fund list . I was on it. This.vid is full of great info. My question today is this. There are.bunch of youtube channels with my productions. up some with 647k views. How do i get paid for this? I never gave anyone permission to publish those records on CZcams! One such record is a vinyl 33 rpm song called YES YOU THRILL ME by LES.FEMMES.
Hi Warren. I use a company called AdRev to collect for me. Check them out! They will register your songs with Content ID.
@@Djpuzzle Hey BROTHER! Thank you for the info. Will check that out. Also i m subbing to your channel so i can keep in touch! Be safe bro!😎😎😎👍👍
CD Baby also has a CZcams Content ID monetization service, but I believe it’s only for tracks distributed through them.
@@tonyvv Thank you Tony. After seeing more than a dozen sites playing this track. i ve decided to re release it. This year. Thank you for responding and for all the great vids! 👍😎
@@warrendoris9669 Happy to help! Thanks for the sub brother!
If the artist is signed to a major record label "Sony music, etc" then they do get their internacional neightboring right because they are afiliated to each one of them globally.
good video
That's true
Thanks Tony. Quick question: I was under the impression that radio pays your PRO for plays. I know you said in the previous video that this is done by the PRO making a "best guess" as to amounts paid and distributed. Is this considered a "royalty payment" by the radio industry? Again, thanks for the info and the education. I appreciate your time and effort on doing these. BTW: clean audio this time out - no repetitive "bulk erased tape" noise as in the last video.
Yes, radio pays the songwriter/publisher a public performance royalty.
So are neighboring royalties getting paid to foreign societies outside the US from terrestrial broadcasters, for the use of US sound recordings?
And if so, why do those international societies still continue to collect royalties generated from US owned recordings, knowing that neighboring rights are not recognized by US Artists and Master Rights Owners?
How do you collect that 5 % of the none featured artist? That was sent to the American federation of musicians? So I have to register with the American federation of musicians to collect those royalties too ?
I signed up with Sound Exchange years ago but just recently back in March started submitting my catalog. it's a lot of work if you manage a large catalog but hopefully worth it. Anyway, I'm still waiting for them to approve my submissions. When approved, how many years back will they go to calculate how much I am owed? Thanks.
when i signed up in 2017 thru Rident Royalties they went back 3 years .. i got 18K .. i didn't realize i was being played a lot on pandora for many years.. i left a lot on the table but glad i was able to get something.. cdbaby only went back 4 months for publishers rights..and ascap went back 1 year
@@BobGrubel Cool!
@@BobGrubel what do u mean by rident royalties?
@@jojo-fj7lwi looked it up. It looks like a neighboring rights royalties collection company. Looks US based
Hello Tony, thank you for all this information. About the sound recording royalty, I’m not sure I understood correctly. Is it mandatory to go through a distributor to collect this royalty or can you register as a sound recording owner directly at SoundExchange and get the money from them directly? For example, what if your distributor of choice doesn’t have an agreement with the digital services, do you lose the money? Or what if you’d just prefer going directly to SoundExchange? Thank you
You can go direct to SoundExchange. However, they pay part to the artist and part to the label, so you'll have to register as a label too.
Well, that was kind of depressing.
Great info Tony! One question, If we want to register with a company that collects royalties for US artists in other countries do you know of one? SoundExchange only collects in the US?
Depends on the royalties you want to collect. I’m not sure it’s possible with neighboring rights for US artists. You can check however with SongTrust. I saw they are building out their neighboring rights division.
i got over 1k from soundexchange from plays in Brazil and germany
Bob Grubel in radio or what?
@@BobGrubel so are you a US based citizen? Bc i heard that soundexchange only for US citizen
Thank you Tony, as a U.S. Composer, musician, performer, why can't I just go to a country like Canada and do everything there (or say I did everything there)? In other words, do it all thru Canadian companies, organuzations, etc. Do I have to identify as an American via passport, etc.?
You could do that.
wow, overseas royalties are colected and redistributed out there, LOL!
Your like god to me
;)
