Global EDM Authority manages worldwide Neighboring Rights collection for electronic music producers, DJs, featured performers, and master copyright owners. We collect master sound recording performance royalties generated whenever your audio is broadcast on radio, TV, satellite services, internet radio, and public venues globally.
Direct registration and royalty harvesting across SoundExchange (US), PPL (UK), GVL (Germany), SENA (Netherlands), and 35+ international CMOs.
Full collection coverage for both the 50% Master Rights Owner share and the 50% Featured Performer / Musician allocation.
Claim up to 3 years of uncollected retroactive broadcast royalties sitting held in international society databases worldwide.
Neighboring Rights are performance royalties earned specifically on the Master Sound Recording. While publishing protects the underlying musical composition (melodies and lyrics), neighboring rights pay master owners and performers whenever recorded audio is publicly broadcast.
Most electronic music producers confuse publishing with neighboring rights. Publishing collects for the songwriters. Neighboring rights collect for the sound recording owners (50%) and the featured performers / DJs (50%) whenever music is played on SiriusXM, TV broadcasts, Pandora, terrestrial radio worldwide, or public club venues.
We manage global Neighboring Rights administration directly with international collection societies. From metadata validation to retroactive backlog claims, we recover master sound recording royalties worldwide.
We lodge direct representation mandates with SoundExchange, PPL, SENA, GVL, and 35+ international societies to eliminate double-taxation and middleman delays.
We cross-match sound recording ISRCs, track durations, and performer roles (qualifying artists vs. session players) across international databases.
We audit society "unmatched pools" to collect up to 3 years of retroactive royalties that would otherwise liquidate to local major label pools.
