Complete Music Publishing Administration in Atlanta: Royalty Collection, Rights Management, and Catalog Administration

Why Atlanta Songwriters and Publishers Need Dedicated Administration

If you need music publishing administration in Atlanta, you're likely managing a catalog that generates royalties from streaming, broadcast, synchronization, and performance. Pilot Music Business Services offers complete administration that includes royalty collection from domestic and international sources, rights management across multiple territories, and catalog administration that keeps your intellectual property organized and profitable.

Atlanta's music scene spans hip-hop, R&B, gospel, and commercial production, which means catalogs here often involve complex splits, co-writing arrangements, and licensing across film, television, and digital media. Without proper administration, royalties go uncollected, rights expire, and catalog value diminishes. We track every revenue stream, register works with performing rights organizations, and ensure you receive what you've earned—on time and in full.

How Royalty Collection and Rights Management Work Together

Royalty collection involves identifying every source of income tied to your compositions: mechanical royalties from streaming and downloads, performance royalties from radio and venues, synchronization fees from media placements, and print royalties when applicable. In Atlanta, where independent labels and production companies proliferate, tracking these payments requires persistence and industry connections. We monitor statements, audit discrepancies, and follow up on missing payments so you don't have to.

Rights management ensures your catalog is properly registered and protected. This includes filing with ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC, registering compositions with the U.S. Copyright Office, and managing international collection through sub-publishers or affiliates. When new placements occur—whether in a network show, a commercial, or a streaming series—we handle licensing negotiations and update registrations to reflect current ownership.
