COMMON QUESTIONS:
Q: How does BreakONE Publishing work?
A: We provide worldwide publishing administration services. We register your songs and collect royalties on your behalf, without you losing any percentage of your copyrights. Using our service, your song will be registered with multiple PROs and mechanical agencies all over the wold. We can also affiliate you with a PRO if you do not have one.
Q: How much does BreakONE Publishing cost?
A: We charge $100 up front to cover set-up and administrative costs. We also have a 20% commission on the publisher's share of royalties we collect for you. You may register as many songs as you wish. Reach $50.00 threshold per song and receive your publishing portion of music royalties.
Q: Do you need a PRO/CMO?
A: Yes! In order for us to collect your performance royalties, you must be registered with your territory’s PRO or CMO. Then BreakONE Publishing will register you to PROs and CMOs all around the world.
Q: What's the difference between a PRO and a publishing administration?
A: A PRO's purpose is to collect performance royalties and licensing fees in it's home territory from radio stations, TV networks, gyms, airports, bars and live music venues as well as some digital sites. Collecting royalties through your PRO will take a lot of time to process if processed at all. A publishing administration (BRK1 Pub Admin) handles your songs globally, pays faster then a PRO, and will not only register your songs, but handle the registration of your songs at PRO's around the world! In addition, a PRO does not collect mechanical royalties generated from sales/streams. BreakONE Publishing works directly with mechanical collection societies and digital services themselves in order to collect your global mechanical royalties faster.
Q: What types of royalties does BreakONE Publishing collect?
A: We collect mechanical and performance royalties of the publisher’s share.
Q: What royalties does BreakONE Publishing collect?
