For instance, for every $100 you earn from Spotify, on average there's an additional $18 in publishing royalties that Spotify owes you. Half of that ($9) is in the form of performance royalties which you CAN collect through your P.R.O.

You don't use a beat in a song without getting a written license agreement allowing you to do so. That license agreement sets forth the compensation (whether fee, royalty or combination of both). Without a license agreement, you are exposed to claims that the owner of the beat is your co-author, even though the most important elements of the

The process is very similar for ASCAP, however, with a couple of major differences: With ASCAP you can only register with a publishing entity - you cannot register your work with ASCAP if you don't have a publisher. Another major difference is that the royalty share in ASCAP must add up to 100% - 50% for the writer(s), and 50% for the publisher(s).

If you register a beat. Let's call it "beat 1" and it's all yours. So 100% interest to you for "beat 1". If that beat gets picked up by me and I decide to pop it in my song, so I call it "love song with beat 1" They are completely separate entities.

If you join GEMA, your royalties in the US will, by default, be licensed by ASCAP unless you have a BMI publisher representing your works. One of the advantages of being a GEMA member, if you are published, you can place some of your catalog with ASCAP and some with BMI in the US.
