How does music publishing work?

Music publishing is how artists, producers, and songwriters manage their songs, earn money, and protect their creative work. KOSIGN is a publishing platform designed to help members focus on creating while ensuring they earn their royalties.

1. Copyright Basics

When you write a song, you automatically own the composition (melody and lyrics). KOSIGN helps manage the rights to your songs so you can have confidence in how they’re handled.

2. How You Earn Money

KOSIGN members earn royalties from:

• Performance Royalties: Paid when your songs are played on the radio, at live shows, on TV, or through streaming platforms.
• Mechanical Royalties: Earned when your songs are streamed, downloaded, or sold as part of a physical album.
• Sync Licensing: Paid when your songs are featured in movies, ads, TV shows, or video games.
• Print Royalties: From selling sheet music or lyric books.

3. What KOSIGN Does

4. Why It Matters
