Explore additional licensing and monetization opportunities beyond traditional sync, including new media, digital platforms, print, theatrical uses, and other emerging revenue channels.
Outcome. Identify which income streams your catalog could earn from and is not currently collecting.
Beyond sync and the two royalty streams already covered, a composition can earn from print rights: sheet music, lyric reprints, guitar tabs and songbooks, including mixed, matching and personality folios, and lyric reprints in books and magazines.
Derivative rights cover remixes and other new works built on yours, and they are a revenue line rather than only a permission question.
Grand rights, also called dramatic performance rights, cover musicals, operas, oratorios, revues and narrative dance, where the music is performed as part of a dramatic work. Catalogs are increasingly licensed into stage productions precisely because that market pays on box office receipts.
New media and micro sync on social platforms, and content identification revenue on video platforms, are the newest lines and the ones most often left uncollected because nobody registered for them.
