1 What are live broadcast rights?

Live broadcast rights are the rights that you have as a performer to authorize or prohibit the transmission of your live performance by any means, such as radio, TV, internet, or satellite. Live broadcast rights are separate from the rights that you have as a songwriter or composer to authorize or prohibit the reproduction, distribution, or public performance of your musical works. Live broadcast rights are also different from neighboring rights, which are the rights that you have as a performer or producer to receive royalties from the use of your recorded performances.

2 Why are live broadcast rights important?

Live broadcast rights are important because they allow you to control and benefit from the exposure and exploitation of your live performance. If you do not secure your live broadcast rights, you may lose the opportunity to negotiate the terms and conditions of your live broadcast, such as the fee, the duration, the territory, and the exclusivity. You may also risk infringing the live broadcast rights of other performers, venues, or broadcasters, which could result in legal disputes or penalties. Furthermore, you may miss out on the potential revenue streams that your live broadcast could generate, such as advertising, sponsorship, subscription, or donation.

Live streaming rights are crucial for artists as they ensure control over their live performances and potential revenue streams. Without them, artists risk losing control over broadcast terms and may face legal issues. Securing these rights allows for negotiation of fees, duration, and exclusivity, while also tapping into revenue opportunities like advertising and sponsorship. It's essential for artists to assert their rights to maintain autonomy and financial viability in the digital age.

3 How can you secure your live broadcast rights?

To secure your live broadcast rights, you need to have a clear and written agreement with the parties involved in your live broadcast, such as the venue, the promoter, the broadcaster, the platform, and the co-performers. The agreement should specify who owns and who licenses the live broadcast rights, what are the scope and limitations of the live broadcast rights, how are the live broadcast rights compensated, and how are the live broadcast rights enforced. You should also register your live performance with the relevant performance rights organizations (PROs) or collective management organizations (CMOs) that collect and distribute royalties for live broadcast rights.

4 How can you monetize your live broadcast rights?

To monetize your live broadcast rights, you need to have a solid strategy that aligns with your artistic vision and your financial goals. You can choose from different models of monetization, such as charging a fee for access, offering a pay-what-you-want option, soliciting tips or donations, selling merchandise or tickets, partnering with sponsors or advertisers, or joining a subscription or membership service. You should also consider the costs and benefits of each model, such as the platform fees, the payment processing fees, the audience size and engagement, the revenue share, and the tax implications.

Be sure to have all of your compositions registered with your Performer Rights Organization, as they operate on a “Follow the Dollar” principle: the licensing fees your PRO collects from TV networks go to TV music creators, the licensing fees they collect from streaming services compensate performances on streaming services, and so on.

5 How can you track and audit your live broadcast rights?

To track and audit your live broadcast rights, you need to have reliable and accurate data on your live broadcast performance, such as the number of views, the duration of views, the location of views, and the revenue generated. You can obtain this data from the platforms or broadcasters that host your live broadcast, or from third-party tools or services that monitor and analyze your live broadcast data. You should also compare this data with the reports and statements that you receive from the PROs or CMOs that collect and distribute your live broadcast royalties, and verify that they match and reflect your agreement. If you find any discrepancies or errors, you should contact the relevant parties and request a correction or an explanation.

Managing your live broadcast rights effectively involves a few best practices. Research and understand the legal and contractual aspects of your rights, and consider seeking professional advice.

Register your performance with the appropriate PROs or CMOs, and keep track of your membership status. Choose a sustainable model of monetization for your live broadcast, and diversify your income sources. Additionally, track and audit data and royalties, report any issues quickly, and communicate and collaborate with co-performers, venues, promoters, broadcasters, platforms, and fans while respecting their rights.
