How Much Does Music Rights and Tunecore Cost?

The modern music market is changing dramatically with the advent of digital platforms. Artists have many options to choose from as they can deliver their music to listeners around the world.

What are music rights?

Music rights are the rights that artists and composers have over their own creations. This includes copyright, neighboring rights, performance rights, etc. Music rights play an important role when artists use their works commercially. Also, with proper rights management, it is possible to earn more revenue.

Copyright

Copyright is the exclusive right that the creator of a musical work has for that work. This allows the creator to allow the use of the music or charge a royalty. Copyright occurs automatically at the same time as the creation of the music, and no special procedure is required.

Adjacent rights

Neighborhood rights, unlike copyright, are rights granted to music performers, record makers, broadcasters, etc. This allows them to profit from the commercial use of music content.

Performance rights

Performance rights are rights that arise when a musical work is performed in public. This allows artists and composers to receive compensation for live performances and performances in public places.
