When it comes to ensuring you receive your rightful mechanical royalties, notifying your works with CAPASSO is a crucial step. But who exactly is responsible for doing this? Let’s break it down.
Direct CAPASSO Members: Composers, Authors & Publishers
If you are a composer, songwriter, or publisher who is a direct CAPASSO member, you can notify your own works. This ensures your music is registered and tracked correctly, allowing you to collect royalties from streaming, downloads, and physical sales.
Publishers Acting on Behalf of Direct CAPASSO Members
Publishers who administer direct CAPASSO members’ works can also notify works on their behalf. If you are signed to a publisher that handles your catalog, they can submit the necessary information to CAPASSO, ensuring your royalties flow smoothly.
Indirect CAPASSO Members: Who Registers for Them?
If you are an indirect CAPASSO member, you cannot notify your works yourself. Instead, your administering publisher is responsible for registering your works and making sure you get paid. This is common in sub-publishing or administrative agreements where rights are managed by another entity.
Why Work Registration Matters
- ✅ Ensures accurate royalty tracking for your compositions.
- ✅ Prevents missed payments from digital platforms and record labels.
- ✅ Helps streamline the distribution process so you get paid faster.
If you’re unsure about whether your works have been notified, reach out to CAPASSO or your publisher to check your registration status.
