SCPP Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how music producers can register with SCPP to collect royalties from the use of their sound recordings.
SCPP Registration is a process for music producers to ensure they receive royalties from the use of their sound recordings.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for music producers. This includes self-producing artists who manage the production of their own music. If you take on the professional role of a producer for your recordings, you may be eligible to register.
What you get
By registering, you gain the ability to collect royalties related to the use of your sound recordings. These payments are part of what is known as droits voisins, which are the rights belonging to producers and performers. This ensures that when your recorded music is used, the producer receives the appropriate compensation.
What it costs you
There are no upfront costs mentioned, but you will be responsible for administrative costs. These are the expenses associated with the management and processing of your registration and the collection of your royalties.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand is the distinction between your different professional roles. You must be able to distinguish between your role as a performer and your role as a producer. Because these roles carry different rights, you must ensure you are registering for the specific rights associated with being a producer to ensure you are compensated correctly for your work as a producer.
