Publishing on YouTube
Publishing on YouTube service
We claim all publishing royalties generated in the YouTube ecosystem in the United States and its associated states.
We do this through our YouTube Publishing CMS, providing and associating your Composition Share assets so no royalties are lost along the way, even retroactive ones.
Our partnership with YouTube and the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) enables us to collect unallocated royalties that were waiting to be paid.
Furthermore, we have the technology to track down the ISRC and ISWC codes of works with missing metadata on YouTube.
All these factors, together with the reciprocity between Republic Network, the different Collecting Societies and YouTube, mean that we have full control of the publishing royalty collection process on Google’s video platform.
A Composition Share asset is a set of information that represents a rightsholder’s ownership of a musical composition on YouTube. It is made up of :
- Metadata: composers’ names and identification codes.
- Territories where composition is claimed.
- Sound recording where the composition is claimed.
We provide Composition Share assets so that YouTube can display ads on videos, once all music composition owners indicate that they want to monetize their share of said composition.
