Mechanical Licensing, Publishing Administration and Royalty Collection |
| |
| Mechanical Licensing. HSM ensures labels can secure the necessary publishing approval to sell third-party compositions in the US through a blanket deal with the Harry Fox Agency, and direct deals with non-Harry Fox publishers. A fully staffed licensing department handles the licensing, accounting, and royalty payouts so our clients don’t have to, significantly relieving administrative burden in a cost-effective way. |
| |
| Publishing Administration. HSM offers artists and labels a comprehensive suite of copyright and publishing administration and global sub-publishing services, including the collection of worldwide royalty payments and licensing administration. |
| |
| Royalty Collection. Throughout the world, performance royalties are earned not only for compositions, but also for master recordings. HSM provides a consolidated global solution for the collection of these Sound Recording Performance Rights (Neighboring Rights) from all worldwide societies. |
