MUSIC PUBLISHING AND LICENSING
Music publishing and licensing are two essential aspects of the music business that deal with the rights and financial aspects of music.

MUSIC PUBLISHING

Music publishing involves the management and exploitation of musical compositions, including lyrics and melodies.
Music publishers work with songwriters and composers to promote, protect, and monetize their songs.
They help artists get their music placed in various media like films, TV shows, commercials, and video games.
Music publishers also collect royalties from various sources, such as public performances, mechanical royalties, and synchronization licenses.

LICENSING
Music licensing involves the process of granting permission to use a specific piece of music in various forms of media or for specific purposes.
There are different types of licenses, including sync licenses (for use in visual media), mechanical licenses (for reproduction and distribution), and performance licenses (for live or recorded public performances).
Licensing agreements specify the terms, fees, and conditions for using the music, as well as the rights granted to the licensee.
Both music publishing and licensing play crucial roles in ensuring that songwriters, composers, and musicians are compensated for their creative work while allowing their music to reach wider audiences through various platforms and media.
