Turnkey Licensing and Royalty Services for Labels and Distributors

For physical and download sales in the US, labels and distributors are typically required to obtain proper mechanical licenses for compositions controlled by third party publishers. This can require licenses from thousands of individual publishers across the country, as well as licenses with the Harry Fox Agency (HFA). Labels and distributors then face the burden of royalty reporting monthly, quarterly, and annually, in wide ranging report formats according to the individual requirements of each publisher.

This can be a tremendous burden, costing both time and money. And if done improperly, it can lead to substantial risk, including copyright infringement and late fee penalties.

Fortunately, there is one simple solution: RightsFlow.
