Which option do UK libraries offer a sync fee or upfront most of the time if they do their licensing through PRS.
The library works along side 5alarm. I’m not sure if that means anything though.
Any experience?
It doesn’t necessarily have to be either. A lot of UK libraries are back end only. Have you tried asking the library you are referring to or have you found them listed here?
I think maxpower answered that already. Usually you keep 100% of writer’s share and 50% of sync fees. And some of the big libraries might offer you some upfront fees too. But not all libraries have the same contract terms. Ask the library to send you a copy of their agreement.
I was under the impression 5 Alarm Music are US based. https://www.5alarmmusic.com/contact-us/
I heard there was no sync fees / mech fees with WOM (west one music) is that a standard behavior in UK?
Is sync fees the same as mechanical fees (sorry it’s a different term in my country hence my confusion when reading that WOM contract )
Having no sync fees seem like crazy, as it’s not indicated on the contract I’m getting confused.
How are you supposed to make a living if you have music used in a web trailer / commercials if you are not given any sync fees ?
It’s a lame move.
How are you supposed to make a living on web syncs/ commercials / YouTube / Netflix or such things that generate next to nothing as back end ?
