What does Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties do after I submit my catalog for review?

Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties reviews your major label placements, metadata, ownership information, contracts, and potential master royalty participation to determine where eligible master royalties may need to be registered or collected.

If there is a collection opportunity, Elizabeth Music Group Master Royalties can handle the operational process with the appropriate record labels, royalty departments, and collection sources. This can include organizing documentation, registering eligible royalty interests, making submissions, communicating with label royalty departments, following up on outstanding inquiries, and helping investigate unpaid or uncollected master royalties.

For producers and artists, this can be particularly valuable when a recording has already been released but the participant has never been properly entered into a label’s royalty system or does not know how to pursue the accounting process. Every recording and agreement is different, so eligibility and the amount of any royalties depend on the applicable contracts, ownership or royalty participation, recoupment status, and accounting history.
