For film and TV production companies we generate additional income and secure all their film music assets by establishing their won film music publishing entity. Through this set-up film production companies can fully own their score music and receive music publishing royalties whenever one their films is broadcasted.
Global Collection Society income for musical works in 2018:
9
Billion EUR
Problem
- FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIENS HAVE THE MISBELIEF THAT THEY HAVE SECURED ALL RIGHTS BY PAYING THE COMPOSERS FOR THE MUSIC PRODUCTION. BUT THEY USUALLY FORGET ABOUT THE IMPORTANT PUBLISHING RIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH EVERY COMISSIONED PIECE OF MUSIC
- AS A RESULT, FOR EVERY SINGLE BROADCASTING OF FILM MUSIC MONEY IS PAID OUT TO THIRD PARTIES BUT NOT THE FILM PRODUCTION COMPANY
Impact
THIS LACK OF OWNERSHIP CAN ALSO LEAD TO
- A COMPETITOR BUYING THE PUBLISHING RIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH film music AND THEN RESTRICTING THE USAGE RIGHTS for the future
- NEGATIVE USE OF YOUR film MUSIC
- COPYCATS OF YOUR CREATIVE IDEAS
Solution
AS film production companies help to make music available to the public they fulfill the regulatory requirements to publish their music.
ROBA Music Publishing offers to film production companies a tailor made and world-wide accessible concept how they can become their own music publishers and own all rights associated with their music. For every broadcasting of their score music they will receive the music publishing income from the international collection societies. There is no set up fee and all administration is done by ROBA.
The authors are still remunerated with their composer share directly by the music collection society.
TECHNOLOGY
As a leading music publisher, we register all our works electronically at the local collection societies. As we are direct members at many of these societies, we can pay out royalties to our partners much faster than the normal breed of music publishers. Our music monitoring system can scan music used in broadcasting on a worldwide scale. With these reports, we check the statements of the music societies and automatically claim missing income for our publishing partners. With ROBA, you have access to all your data, at any time. Our industry-leading ROBA Portal provides full transparency with real-time updates, powerful reporting, and user-friendly analysis tools that make it easy to review and understand the complex world of publishing royalties.
