If you've released music on streaming platforms, there's a good chance you're owed money you don't know about. The music royalty system is complex, fragmented, and not designed to make it easy for independent artists to collect everything they're owed.
The three places your royalties hide:
1. The MLC (Mechanical Royalties) Every stream generates a mechanical royalty for the songwriter. If you wrote your songs and haven't registered with the MLC, streaming platforms literally cannot pay you this money. It sits in an unmatched pool.
2. SoundExchange (Digital Radio Royalties) If your music has ever played on Pandora, SiriusXM, iHeart, or any of 3,500+ digital radio services, performance royalties were generated. You need to be registered with SoundExchange as both a Featured Artist and Sound Recording Copyright Owner.
3. Your PRO (Performance Royalties) ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC collect performance royalties when your music is played publicly. But metadata errors, missing registrations, and incorrect splits mean money gets lost or never distributed.
How to check all three at once: Instead of checking each organization manually, RoyaltyCoPilot.ai scans your entire catalog against all three simultaneously. In under 5 minutes, you'll know exactly what's registered, what's missing, and what it's costing you.
