GEA PUBLISHING // ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

What Is Music Publishing?

Every recorded song consists of two distinct copyrights: the Master Sound Recording (the actual audio file) and the Musical Composition (the melody, lyrics, chord structure, and arrangement created by the songwriter or producer).

THE COMMON MISCONCEPTION

Distributors Do NOT Collect Publishing

Standard digital distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby) only deliver your audio files to DSPs and collect Master Audio Royalties. They do not collect composition publishing. Without a dedicated publishing administrator, your streaming mechanicals and performance royalties sit uncollected in global society databases.

THE PUBLISHING REVENUE STREAM

Three Core Composition Vectors

  • ✓ Performance Royalties: Earned when your music is played on radio, TV, digital streams, live venue sets, and club DJ performances.
  • ✓ Mechanical Royalties: Generated whenever a composition is streamed on-demand (Spotify, Apple Music) or purchased as a download.
  • ✓ Micro-Sync Royalties: Collected from user-generated video uses across YouTube Content ID, TikTok clips, and Meta Reels.
