Part of the ‘Dissecting The Digital Dollar’ series of reports and guides produced by CMU Insights for the UK Music Managers Forum, ‘The Song Royalties Guide’ explains the complexities and issues with the way streaming services pay songwriters.
It outlines the deals done between the streaming business and the music publishing sector, and how this results in a series of royalty chains along which an assortment of delays, deductions and disputes can occur, impacting on how much money actually gets through.
