Neighbouring rights are often a point of confusion for artists and can, in many cases, lead to not receiving royalties that they’re owed. This can often be the difference between artists who earn a living off of their music and those that don’t…
This Kycker article is a 101 guide to neighbouring rights outlining what they are, where they come from, and importantly, how to collect them and make sure that you’re getting paid when your music gets played.
Every time a song is played live, royalties are generated for the songwriters and publishers. But with many not registering their music, theses earnings are often left untapped (and sometimes, never collected!).
Gig registration helps to make sure that these earnings are paid correctly to the rightsholders of that piece of music.
