How is music distribution different from publishing?

Music distribution delivers recorded music to music services and pays out the revenue from its use. Music publishing administers royalties for the compositions and lyrics behind a song and pitches them for new uses.

Even for the same song, the rights in the recording and in the composition and lyrics must be checked separately. AUDENIQ will explain the contract and payout scope of distribution and publishing separately.

What support is being prepared for songwriters?

AUDENIQ Publishing is preparing a service that organizes information about your works and their rights, and helps with song registration and royalty administration and accounting. Pitching your music for new uses is also part of the plan.

The goal is a service that freelance creators without a publisher or agency can use too. Which works can be administered, and the scope of support, will be decided after reviewing existing agreements and the rights status of each work.

What happens to my copyrights if I sign up for publishing?

AUDENIQ Publishing is being prepared so that copyrights stay with the creator. AUDENIQ plans to administer and pitch only the works and contract scope you separately agree to.

For works already covered by a collecting society mandate or a publishing agreement, that agreement and the rights status must be checked first. It is not a service that guarantees administration of every work.

Frequently asked questions

For anything else,
just send us an email ↗

Can freelance composers and lyricists use it?

Yes. AUDENIQ Publishing is also being prepared for indie composers, lyricists and freelance creators who work without a publisher or agency.

Am I automatically signed up for publishing if I use distribution?

No. Publishing is a separate service that you choose and contract for on its own. AUDENIQ is preparing it so that applying for distribution never creates a publishing agreement by itself.

Can I bring works that are already under a collecting society or publishing agreement?

AUDENIQ will review existing collecting society or publishing agreements and the rights of each work before deciding the scope it can administer.
