As a songwriter, you own the compositions you write, whether or not you officially register them with the U.S. Copyright Office. But how do you actually collect the mechanical royalties you are entitled to when a copy or version of your song is sold or played?

That's exactly the question I answer in the video above, part 4 of our series on the basics of music copyright and royalties. The video answers the following questions:

When am I entitled to mechanical royalties?
· How does the industry know that I own a composition so that they can pay me my mechanical royalties?
· How much are the mechanical license fees?
· Do I automatically receive mechanical royalties from my distributor?
· Will ASCAP or BMI not pick up my mechanical parts?
What do I need to do to collect the mechanical royalties I am owed?

Mechanical royalties can be the primary source of income for a popular songwriter.

Watch this video to make sure you get yours.
