Music publishing is incredibly similar to the big record
labels. Aside from royalties, licensing deals and administrating copyrights,
music publishing involves the recording and selling of songs, just like record
labels do. So what's the deal with music publishing? Simply, the business
of recording music is getting weaker as the music publishing business is becoming stronger. A revenue collecting company for songwriters called
SongTrust states that the importance of music publishing has increased during
recent years. The Internet has made an abundant amount of music distribution
methods. The digital media has caused a much wider audience to be reached, and
the payments from these audiences increase the publishing revenues.
