📌 Introduction
What you manage with your digital distributor is different from the activity handled by Soundreef, for which you give them a mandate.
✔ With your digital distributor, you distribute your music on digital platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, etc.) and collect royalties from the exploitation of master rights.
✔ With Soundreef, you manage your copyright, which includes musical performance rights (DEM) and mechanical reproduction rights (DRM), even for uses on digital platforms.
Therefore, the type of royalties and their settlement from the digital distributor and Soundreef are different. This is why digital distribution does not conflict with copyright management with Soundreef.
1️⃣ Is my position with Soundreef in conflict with distribution on digital platforms?
✔ Absolutely not, quite the opposite.
With the Online mandate, Soundreef manages the royalties that come from plays on various DSPs (Digital Service Providers), and by registering with Soundreef, you can accrue them.
✔ How are rights paid by Spotify, Apple Music, and other digital platforms?
Digital platforms pay separately for master rights (which you manage with your distributor) and copyrights (which you can collect through Soundreef).
If you distribute tracks through a digital distributor but are not registered as an author with a collecting society, you will receive only the royalties for the master, without receiving anything for the copyright.
2️⃣ What is the value of royalties accrued from online usage?
✔ It varies greatly.
The calculation of royalties for this class of rights is very complex and based on numerous variables, so there is no fixed correspondence between the number of streams and the royalties accrued.
✔ Factors influencing the value of Online royalties
The total number of streams received.
The type of user account listening to the track (Free, Family, Premium).
The country from which the streams originate.
The total number of general streams in the country.
The revenue of the digital platform and its distribution.
The impact of your tracks on the total listens, also considering the ownership shares (DEM and DRM).
❓ FAQ
🔹 Can I distribute my music digitally even if I have a mandate with Soundreef?
Yes. The mandate with Soundreef does not conflict with digital distribution, which concerns master rights. Soundreef, on the other hand, manages copyrights (DEM and DRM).
🔹 Do I receive royalties from Soundreef for online usage?
Yes, if you have the Online mandate active. Platforms pay separately for master rights (to the distributor) and copyrights (to the collecting society, like Soundreef).
🔹 How much are Online royalties worth?
The value varies based on several factors: number and origin of streams, type of user accounts, platform revenues, and ownership shares of the works.
📌 Conclusion
The Soundreef Online mandate allows you to collect copyrights from the digital use of your music, without conflicting with the royalties collected by your digital distributor.
