This episode is a foundational deep dive into exactly how music copyrights generate a paycheck. Host Josh Gilliland breaks down the four primary income sources for any music asset, explaining the engine that drives your potential returns.

You will learn about:

  • Mechanical Royalties: Generated from every reproduction of a song, from vinyl to Spotify streams.
  • Public Performance Royalties: Earned from plays on the radio, in restaurants, on TV, and online.
  • Synchronization (Sync) Royalties: The powerful income from placing songs in movies, commercials, and video games.
  • Print Royalties: The smallest but still important stream from the sale of sheet music.
