UMPG | PLG PARNTERSHIP
Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) serves as the parent company in partnership with Music Label Group, providing a comprehensive range of services to songwriters and artists. As a leading global music publisher, UMPG is responsible for administering and licensing musical compositions, ensuring that songwriters receive proper compensation for the use of their work. Through this partnership, Music Label Group collaborates with UMPG to manage and collect royalties on behalf of the artists and songwriters under its umbrella. This entails monitoring and tracking the usage of musical compositions across various platforms, such as streaming services, radio, television, and live performances, and then collecting the corresponding royalties.
Furthermore, as part of the process, UMPG and Music Label Group register the musical compositions with the appropriate copyright and royalty collection organizations, such as the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). This registration serves as a vital step in safeguarding the rights of songwriters and artists, ensuring that they receive fair compensation for the use of their creative works. By registering the compositions with the IPO, UMPG and Music Label Group establish a clear record of ownership and rights, which is essential for accurately tracking and distributing royalties. This collaborative effort ultimately empowers songwriters and artists by providing them with the necessary support and infrastructure to maximize the potential earnings from their musical creations.
