You make the music. Now make sure you make the money.

The third edition of Rights & Revenue is the most comprehensive yet, now expanded to 540+ A4 PDF pages with the addition of 165 new pages dedicated to global registration processes for Performance Rights Organizations (PROs) and Collective Management Organizations (CMOs). This edition includes a country-by-country breakdown of how to register, what documentation is required, how long it takes, what it costs, and whether non-residents can join. Every listing includes direct links to the official registration portals, making this the most actionable guide available for music rights professionals.

Whether you're a songwriter in Senegal, a label in Peru, or a publisher in Poland, this edition gives you the tools to register correctly, collect globally, and maximize your royalty flow.

And that’s just the beginning.
