Digital Music Copyrights
Digital music copyrights encompass every right triggered by the online distribution and performance of music: mechanical (downloads + interactive streams), digital performance (non-interactive streams), and reproduction (caching, ephemeral copies). The MLC, SoundExchange, and direct DSP deals all play roles.
Interactive streams (Spotify, Apple) pay mechanical via The MLC + performance via PROs.
Non-interactive streams (Pandora radio, SiriusXM) pay master owners + performers via SoundExchange.
Distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby) deliver to DSPs and collect master royalties.
