Attention to detail. Your music is your living – don’t you deserve to collect every last penny? We think you do and we work hard to make sure that your royalties don’t fall into the “black box.”
- We accurately register your songs and cues directly with the royalty societies in the major territories using leading-edge software to minimize errors.
- We research the territories in which your music is generating money, discover unclaimed royalties and direct the royalty societies to pay us for the usages.
- We carefully cross-examine each royalty statement with cue sheets and album sales to ensure you are paid for all usages, past and present.
- When we find discrepancies, we register back-claims and follow through until all royalties are paid.
Our Philosophy
As Compared with Traditional Publishers
Slow collection of royalties: Foreign royalties are delayed by 9 to 24 months. No transparency: A publisher with no competent foreign representation has to rely on its home society to collect foreign royalties, and verify registrations. Loss of royalties: If your songs are not properly registered in foreign territories and usages properly monitored, you may not collect all the royalties you are due.Traditional publishers who rely only on a network of sub-publishers incur unnecessary sub-publishing fees and also have to deal with delays:
High and unnecessary sub-publishing fees: Traditional publishers that utilize sub-publishers add an unnecessary cost of up to 20% in sub-publishing fees, lowering your foreign royalties. For example, for every $100 a foreign sub-publisher collects, only $80 are paid to your publisher. Slow collection of royalties: Foreign royalties are delayed by 6 to 12 months. Loss of royalties: If your songs are not properly registered in foreign territories and usages properly monitored, your royalties could go missing.Leveraging state-of-the-art technology and bypassing foreign sub-publishers altogether in most major territories, pigFACTORY eliminates unnecessary sub-publishing fees and collection delays by directly affiliating with foreign societies:
Faster collection of royalties: Direct memberships with the major royalty societies around the world allows us to collect quickly.Transparency: Our dedicated administration team communicates regularly with foreign royalty societies throughout the world to monitor copyright registrations and usages. We also visit foreign royalty societies several months a year to verify registrations and collect royalties. Direct membership allows us direct access to the databases of foreign societies.Higher royalties: Proper registration of copyrights and monitoring of song usage yields higher royalties.On-the-ground creative support for aggressive exploitation of your catalogue.Leveraging our powerful network of partners from around the world to maximize income.Centralized accounting: You get one detailed statement from us, no matter how many different sub-publishers and partners are used.
