Until recently, neighboring rights royalties were deemed insignificant, but today they can make up as much as 15% of top line revenue. Plus, there are no direct costs associated with this revenue. Our experts will explain where and how they exist and outline how to collect and verify them.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This little-known stream of royalty payments can be significant, especially as U.S. music companies and their artists come to better understand the value in neighboring rights to their bottom line. Neighboring rights revenue has increased over 50% in the last five years to over $1.5 billion.
