Music Publishing Industry
The music publishing industry manages how songwriters and composers earn money when their music is used. When songs are played on the radio, streamed online, performed live, or used in movies and ads, publishers ensure creators get paid through licensing. They also help promote songs and protect copyright rights. Essentially, publishers act as the middlemen, connecting creators with opportunities to monetize their work, while collecting and distributing royalties to ensure fair compensation for the use of their music.
