Four Revenue Streams. One Membership.
MCSN collects and distributes royalties across all four major rights categories. Understanding them is the first step to maximizing your earnings.
Performing Rights
Earn royalties when your musical works are played or performed in public — live concerts, radio & TV broadcasts, restaurants, and public venues.
Mechanical Rights
Collect royalties whenever your compositions are reproduced — through streaming, downloads, CDs, vinyl, or any physical/digital distribution.
Neighbouring Rights
Performers, producers, and recording artists earn royalties when sound recordings are played publicly — separate from composition royalties.
Synchronization Rights
Get paid when your music is synced with visual media — films, TV shows, commercials, video games, and online content.
