A Guide to Licensing Your Cover Songs for Digital Distribution

Описание к видео A Guide to Licensing Your Cover Songs for Digital Distribution

In this video, we provide a guide on how to license your cover songs for digital distribution. With recent changes in the law, it has become easier to distribute your music digitally, but it has also added some complexity. Understanding distribution is the first step. To get your music on major platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, you need to go through a digital distributor who will distribute it to their network of services. Each of these platforms is its own media format that requires licensing.

The second step is understanding licensing requirements. Non-interactive audio streams, that occur on internet radio platforms, are licensed through blanket agreements with Performing Rights Organizations. Interactive audio streams, that occur on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, are licensed through blanket agreements with the Mechanical Licensing Collective. Digital downloads are the only format that must be licensed by the recording artist prior to distribution.

The third step is understanding how to get licensing for digital downloads. Easy Song's Cover Song Licensing service makes it simple to get the licensing you need for your cover song release. You just prepay for a certain quantity of downloads and are covered up to that number. Most distributors provide regular sales reports that make it easy for you to monitor your actual downloads and make sure you don't exceed what you've licensed. Our fees are also half price for any reorders to make things a little easier. These licenses do not expire, so you will stay covered up to the amount you've licensed until you have sold or distributed every last one.
