HFA (Harry Fox Agency)

The Harry Fox Agency (HFA) is a company that helps music publishers collect licensing fees when their songs are used commercially. It acts as a middleman, issuing licenses to businesses like streaming services, radio stations, or concert organizers, so they can legally use copyrighted music. HFA ensures artists and publishers get paid fairly for their work by managing the licensing process and royalties. Essentially, it's a bridge that facilitates legal music use and proper payment in the music industry.
