Frequently asked questions

I manage the copyright in musical compositions and license their use: code 59.20.20 or sound recording?
59.20.20. Music publishing involves acquiring and registering the copyright in compositions and authorising their use in recordings, radio, TV, film and live performances. Those who physically record audio in a studio do sound recording, under code 59.20.10.
I publish sheet music and music books: does that fall under 59.20.20 or book publishing?
59.20.20. The publication of music books and sheet music is covered here, within music publishing. The publication of general books remains under 58.11.00.
I distribute tracks via streaming while also managing the rights: is that 59.20.20?
Yes, when the publication and distribution of recordings via streaming and download goes hand in hand with managing the rights in the compositions. Music publishing covers precisely the promotion, licensing and use of compositions across the various media.
