How music publishing works01 / 05
Every song holds two copyrights. Publishing is the composition — the melody, the lyrics, and how the credit splits between writers.

The Black Box
Every year, music earns royalties — yet billions of those dollars still sit unclaimed.
Each time a song is streamed, performed, played, or sold, royalties accumulate. Payment only happens when that work is properly registered — with every society, across every territory. Otherwise, there's no destination for the money. It pools without a trace in the industry's black box.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Clear answers about how Found Royalties tracks, registers, and collects royalties for you.
Read the full FAQYou pay nothing upfront — there are no minimums, subscriptions, or signup fees. Plenty of publishing admins charge $75–$100 simply to open your account; Found Royalties doesn't. We keep 15% of performance royalties and 20% of mechanicals, and only when we collect that money for you. No collection means no charge. Our Terms contain the complete fee schedule.
Yes, permanently. We administer the rights without ever owning them. You continue to hold 100% of your compositions.
No — most independent artists leave this gap unfilled. DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby distribute earnings from your recordings. The underlying compositions — the songs themselves — generate different royalties through collection societies around the world, which distributors leave untouched. Found Royalties collects those funds.
Yes. Your label agreement applies to recordings, while publishing applies to the songs beneath them; the two contracts are separate. Found Royalties takes no stake in master recording income from past or future releases. An existing publishing deal is the actual conflict: don't submit a song committed to another publisher or administrator while their term remains active, because both parties would register the same society share. This applies per song, not across the board — you're free to register the remaining catalog.
Yes, and keep that membership as your foundation. A PRO pays the writer's share of performance royalties, which covers one stream in one capacity. Found Royalties works on the publisher side by registering every song with societies around the world, then collecting mechanical, digital, and international royalties that PRO membership by itself can't reach.
We collect performance royalties from your PRO and collection societies worldwide; mechanicals from each territory's mechanical rights societies; SoundExchange digital performance royalties (optional, for recordings you own); and sync fees when someone licenses your music. The world's 225+ collection societies use reciprocal agreements to extend this coverage across 240+ countries and territories.
In many cases, yes. Royalties from unregistered songs accumulate unclaimed inside collection societies, but only for a limited period — generally two to three years, depending on the society — before disappearing permanently. Once your catalog is registered, we can recover whatever remains. Royalty Radar estimates precisely that: the existing amount owed to your catalog.
Payments are quarterly, with dashboard statements and withdrawals through bank transfer (ACH) or PayPal after your balance hits $25. Here's the honest limitation: societies run 6–12 months behind, making the first payment likely 9–12 months after registration. That delay applies throughout the industry — one reason to register early.
Yes. There are no penalties or lock-in; just provide 30 days' written notice. Email hello@foundroyalties.com using your account email, and we'll acknowledge it. When you switch administrators, we'll transfer or release society registrations within 30 days after your instruction, including any letter-of-relinquishment documents required by the new publisher. For 12 months following the agreement's end, we continue collecting royalties earned during your term. Within 60 days after that period closes, you'll get the final statement and full balance due.
