Are you producing songs for bands or solo artists with songwriting credits? If so and they are being played, broadcast or performed live you can join COMP and start earning money from your songs.

While usually the songwriter/composer is the owner of the song, most songwriters do not look after the rights to their songs. In most cases, songwriters have music publishing companies secure rights on their behalf or surrender their rights to them entirely. In many cases, the songwriter sells the song to the music publisher. In this case, of course, the music publisher is the owner of the song and all the rights that go with it. If you work for or run your own record label you can join COMP and secure royalties on behalf of the publishing company itself or the original creators of the work depending on the nature of the contractual relationship.
