Performance Rights & Royalties
Performance rights are triggered when a musical composition is performed publicly — on radio, TV, streaming, in venues, bars, restaurants, retail, fitness centers, hold music, and any non-private setting. Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) collect and distribute these royalties to songwriters and publishers worldwide.
U.S. PROs: ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR — a songwriter affiliates with one.
Outside the U.S., one national PRO per country (SACEM, GEMA, PRS, JASRAC, etc.).
PRO reciprocal agreements ensure your royalties flow back from foreign performances.
