Services
Mechanical Royalties
Whenever your material is streamed on-demand, downloaded, or is sold, a mechanical royalty is generated. Final Play tracks down these often-overlooked royalties on your behalf.
Some platforms that generate mechanical royalties include, but are not limited to:
- Spotify
- Pandora
- iTunes
- Apple Music
- Soundcloud
- Google Play Music
- Amazon
Performance Royalties
Performance royalties are generated when your music is publicly performed. We’ll make sure your songs are properly registered with the Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) so that you are able to collect all of your public performance income.
Examples of public performance include:
- Internet Radio
- Traditional Radio
- When a business, such as a store, restaurant, or bar plays your music
YouTube Royalties
Both sound recording and publishing royalties are generated when your music is used on YouTube.
With YouTube, there is a public performance royalty, and a sync royalty generated from the placement of ads on your video. Final Play will handle the management of your copyright data within YouTube to make sure you are fully monetizing on your videos.
Sync Licensing
A synchronization license is issued for the use of your music with a visual, such as film, television, and advertising—and typically includes upfront fees. Final Play will administer these licenses on your behalf.
Placements with the Final Play catalog include:
- Super Bowl LI
- NBC
- Nickelodeon
- CBS
- FOX Sports
- MTV
- History Channel
- Oxygen Network
- Access Hollywood
- Hollywood Heights
- The Real World
