The Harry Fox Agency

The Harry Fox Agency (HFA) is a licensing organization that manages the rights for songwriters and music publishers. It grants permissions and collects royalties when their music is reproduced, distributed, or performed publicly, such as on radio, streaming services, or in physical formats. HFA acts on behalf of copyright owners to simplify licensing processes and ensure creators are compensated fairly. Essentially, it functions as a bridge between music creators and those who want to use their work legally, helping to streamline rights management in the music industry.
