Frequently Asked Questions
-
How can I find out if EMI controls the publishing rights to a song?
Use our Search feature - it allows you to search half a million EMI songs.
-
How can I find out the writer(s) of a specific song?
Use our Search feature - it lists the writers for all EMI songs. If the song is not ours, check with SABAM.
-
What is the difference between publishing and master licensing?
Publishing involves the licensing of a song copyright. Licensing a master involves a particular sound recording by an artist. You normally need both licences for synchronization.
-
How can I find out who controls the recording master?
The record company that released the specific version in question owns the master rights. Our site lists lots of recording information.
-
How long will it take to clear a song for licensing?
Depending on the song and the nature of the request, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, or perhaps longer, to clear a song.
-
Can I have a ballpark figure of the cost?
We do not give ballpark figures since there are several variables we must take into consideration, based on the information submitted, to determine the fee.
-
Do you grant gratis requests?
As a responsible music publisher we have an obligation to our writers and the catalogs we administer to represent their interests in a professional manner. We receive a large number of gratis requests each day, and due to the amount of time involved in researching, securing third party approvals, and licensing, we find it necessary to charge a fee. Such fees begin at no less than € 250 per composition and, depending on the situation, are increased accordingly.
