Non-mechanical rights are every income-producing right outside of mechanical reproduction — primarily performance, synchronization, neighbouring, print, and digital performance rights. These are typically administered by PROs and neighbouring rights collectives.
Performance royalties pay songwriters and publishers when works are publicly performed.
Neighbouring rights pay performers and master owners for broadcasts and public performance of recordings.
Synchronization and print royalties are negotiated directly with the publisher/rights holder.
Every icon below links directly to the official site of that agency, publisher, collective, or authority. Hand-curated for non-mechanical rights.
