A Mechanical Rights Organization (MRO) collects mechanical royalties. The “mechanical” right is the right to reproduce a piece of music on CD, DVD, tape or digital.
A Performance Rights Organization (PRO) is a performance rights society. These societies collect performance royalties* among copyright holders. In addition, a PRO manages their use in conjunction with parties who wish to use such works publicly in venues such as supermarkets or restaurants.
* When a work is performed or reproduced publicly.
It happens when copyrighted music is played on the soundtrack of a movie, show, television program or video game. This reproduction is called “synchronization”. The license necessary for the interested parties to include the work in the audiovisual is the synchronization license.
This license is obtained through a direct negotiation between the company that holds the publishing rights of the work and those who wish to use it as part of a soundtrack.

We have an agreement directly with YouTube and the National Publishers’ Association (NMPA) to collect accumulated YouTube royalties from the musical compositions we manage
