Show Notes
An extensive guide for independent musicians on how to proactively collect all earned royalties, which often remain unclaimed due to the music industry's complex structure. It systematically outlines the different categories of music royalties—including performance, mechanical, and digital radio rights—and details the specific organizations, like The MLC and SoundExchange, where artists must register their work. Crucially, the text emphasizes the emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Web3 technologies in automating tracking, recovering lost money, and creating new, decentralized revenue streams through NFTs and direct-to-fan sales. The guide concludes with a comprehensive index listing essential registration websites, distribution platforms, and AI tools necessary for financial self-management.
